HELP SECURE DATA AND PROTECT SYSTEMS FROM CYBER-ATTACKS.
As cyber security threats continue to grow, so does the demand for qualified individuals able to safeguard our society’s vital data and applications.
Lewis’ Bachelor of Science in Cybersecurity program offers a technical curriculum that teaches how to analyze vulnerabilities in computer software and hardware, anticipate attacks, and design security protections, controls, and monitoring services. As a subfield of Computer Science, the study of cybersecurity thoroughly familiarizes students with how computers represent, process, store, obfuscate, and communicate data so that they can anticipate hackers’ moves, decipher their steps, and counteract their attacks. Students will also learn how to apply their knowledge ethically and legally in today’s business environments.
Cybersecurity students will develop expertise in:
- Security Architecture and Models
- Network Security
- Cryptography
- Secure Coding
- Penetration Testing and Ethical Hacking
- IT Operations Security
- Disaster Recovery
- IT Law, Investigations and Ethics
- Physical Security
