Cybersecurity

Program Description

Look around today's world, and you'll see that daily life is more dependent on technology than ever before. The benefits of this trend range from near-instant access to information on the Internet to the modern conveniences provided by smart home automation technology and concepts like the Internet of Things. In layman’s terms, cybersecurity is the field that helps businesses and organizations defend devices, machines, and services from electronic attacks by nefarious actors such as hackers. While there can be offensive components to cybersecurity, most of today's professionals focus on determining the best way to defend everything from computers and smartphones to networks and databases from attackers. Our Cybersecurity program is a discipline that covers how to identify and defend devices and services from electronic attacks. We will focus on researching the best way that industry tries to defend all assets, from computers and smartphones to networks and databases, from attacks. We will also look at programming in C#. Programmers become creative coders competent in applying interactive principles and theories to Cybersecurity. You learn to think and act as innovators, adept at using various technologies and processes to express ideas and solve security design problems. Thru a Hands-On and classroom approach, we prepare you to develop software applications and other interactive media that can run on various platforms to thwart invasion into our systems.
