The Cybersecurity Certificate program consists of three online courses, all of which offer hands-on experience in a cloud-based virtual lab environment. Students will be able to practice common hacks and defense strategies, and learn how to scan websites and cloud environments for security vulnerabilities. Practical examples of recent security breaches will be discussed to illustrate applications of the course materials. Course materials were designed to cover requirements from the NSA, Department of Homeland Security, Department of Defense, and CISSP, among others.

Admission Requirements: HS diploma or equivalency. Recommended prerequisites include familiarity with introductory programming principles and data networking; there are no specific computer language requirements.
