The scope and demand of computer systems and networks, and the span of these systems, increases in organizations every day. At the same time, dependence on computer systems security and computing security technologies is growing dramatically, as is the creation of malicious software that attacks computing systems and networks. Computer systems security is now a major concern for organizations large and small to ensure information stays secure for the privacy of client/customer information, efficient business success, and smooth continuity in operations. As a result, there is an urgent demand for highly trained computing security professionals who can secure and protect an organization's digital assets from relentless attack. In addition, there is a critical need for the continued development of advanced computer security technologies, including hardware and software infrastructures, to both house valuable digital assets and ensure their protection.<br>RIT's bachelor of science in cybersecurity produces professionals who understand the people and processes that impact computer systems security. In addition to acquiring state-of-the-art knowledge in protecting digital assets of large or small organizations, you will learn to proactively identify security vulnerabilities in software, hardware, and infrastructure, and provide and implement actionable solutions that protect the assets of an organization. You will learn to collect digital forensic evidence to reveal network and data breach incidents, attribute the attackers or origin of attack, assess the extent of the damage or loss of information, and design strategies that ensure information is protected from future attacks.
