Our bachelor’s degree in Global Cybersecurity is delivered online in convenient seven week sessions designed specifically for working adults. The program is structured to allow you to “stack” three professional credentials together or integrate areas of business and/or criminal justice to complete your undergraduate degree in Global Cybersecurity.

• • Global Cybersecurity: Foundations of Information Security Credential
    Foundations of Information Security will give you the framework and language to understand what is considered an information security problem. This includes understanding the essential properties of information security—confidentiality, integrity, and availability—as well as ways to implement controls that ensure that network data is protected from hackers. Coursework will teach you to evaluate existing control frameworks and apply them appropriately for your employer’s environment.
  • Global Cybersecurity: Foundations of Security Operations Credential
    To earn this credential, you will learn to assess people, processes, and technology to continuously monitor and improve an organization’s security. You’ll learn to proactively identify attacks through understanding of both attack strategy and lifecycle, in addition to how to assess a potential threat. You’ll build strong network architectures designed to prevent security breaches. You’ll also gain an understanding of how to respond to attacks when they happen, including a strong foundation in planning so that incidents can be handled quickly and successfully when they occur.
  • Global Cybersecurity: Foundations of Software Security Credential
    Cybersecurity professionals build security measures into software before it is ever subjected to hackers. Understanding how to protect information from the start of the development process all the way through deployment of software will go a long way to making it harder for cybercriminals to access information assets. With this credential, you’ll learn to program software securely through strong programming foundations including problem solving during the development process, testing, threat modeling, and management of the testing process. You’ll also learn about cloud security and how to keep a software deployment secure.
