Overview
The Cybersecurity program is designed for the individual seeking knowledge and certification in computer and network-related administration and security.
The Cybersecurity program gives students the knowledge and practical skills needed to become an industry-ready IT security professional.
In addition to communication and support training, students receive training on popular operating systems including Microsoft Windows, Microsoft Windows Server, and Linux. Moreover, students learn how to configure computer and network technologies such as Cisco routers and switches, server virtualization, network services, and security technologies, as well as learn how to perform penetration tests, vulnerability assessments and forensic analysis of security breaches.
