Program description
There is constant coverage in the media of security breaches, data leaks, privacy lapses, and other examples of failed technology that pose a growing danger to commercial and individual data.
This full-time graduate certificate program equips students with the knowledge and skills necessary to harden and further safeguard such systems against attack, including expertise in network technologies, computing hardware, operating systems, and protocols.
