Certificate in Cybersecurity

Cybersecurity, also known as Information Security, is the protection of data and personally identifiable information from malicious attacks, theft, and destruction. Failures of cybersecurity policies, both in large corporations and governmental agencies, have earned significant visibility and negative publicity in recent months and years. As the amount of data being stored continues to increase, and as hackers become more sophisticated, the need for cybersecurity is greater than ever.

The Cybersecurity Professional Development Certificate consists of eight courses which offer lessons on the critical elements of information security, as well as foundational information about key certifications for professionals in the industry. Each of the courses in this suite will help you learn the vocabulary of the industry and offers examples, videos, interactive games, and review questions to ensure mastery of the material. Registration includes access to all required courses.

This suite of courses can also be used for preparation for the Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) exam, offered by The International Information System Security Certification Consortium (ISC)2. Click here to view the exam outline, or for more information, visit this link.
