What will I learn?

Train to become a computer systems security professional and gain a solid understanding of programming, operating systems, networking and strategy — using practical applications of defensive and offensive technologies.

With ubiquitous technology in our everyday lives, computer and system security play a critical role in protecting users and organizations from cyber-attacks. Our data is protected and secure when the systems work, but it can be catastrophic when they fail. Businesses know they need strategies to ensure the security of their data, and nation-states are focused on the security of their people.

The Information Systems Security program prepares you for entering the computer system security field with confidence and solid fundamental knowledge. You will use various defensive and offensive tools while learning the fundamentals of networking, tool construction and operating systems.
