Overview

Cybersecurity professionals are in great demand – individuals with a master's degree in cybersecurity will be qualified to analyze, plan, and implement computer security strategies to safeguard organizations and their data. Cyber-attacks have become a national security issue. The challenges of securing the ever-growing quantity and value of online data continue to increase, and the stakes for protecting such data have never been greater. The world needs people who are skilled in keeping data secure. An important component of a healthy cyber defense is the ability to identify the causes of breaches after they happen to prevent the same kind of attack in the future. Systems of all kinds need people at the helm who understand both current and future threats to their computer security and can counteract them. The Lewis University Master of Science Cybersecurity (MSCY) program will prepare students to do just that, and be ready for a challenging and well-paying career. The Lewis University Master of Science Cybersecurity (MSCY) program is designed to: Provide students with skills and techniques for securing a variety of computing platforms Teach students to make managerial decisions informed by cybersecurity considerations, including how to quantify the value of IT assets and the risk associated with losing them Help students understand the computer science that underlie cyber-attacks and efforts to counteract them so they can respond to new attacks as they evolve Examine the vulnerabilities and remedies associated with networks, operating systems, servers, services, file systems and software Convey the legal, ethical and privacy issues associated with information security
