IT systems are increasingly under attack from a broad range of threats and the impact from attacks is significant. Failure to properly protect a company can cause significant loss of revenue, customers, and jobs as well as possibly shutting down a company. Personnel trained in information security are needed to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information resources and the infrastructure that enables the sharing of information. The objective of the certificate is to prepare students for the challenging world of information security. The certificate will allow students to acquire and apply various methods, tools, technologies, and processes to help secure an organization.
