Is Mile2’s Degree Support Program Right for Your University?
What Makes a Great Cybersecurity Degree Program?
A quality cybersecurity program covers a variety of computer and internet technology concepts. Students should be provided with the skills needed to implement, analyze, and manage information systems in both the public and private sectors, with the goal of protecting the integrity and availability of those systems. Course work needs to cover operating systems, hardware, networks, security management, best practices, risk analysis, and mitigation.
Securing the Future
The skills gap in cybersecurity is expected to grow to over 3 million job openings. Our daily lives, economic stability, and national security depend more and more on cyberwarfare. Cyber intrusions, attacks, and breaches have increased exponentially over the last decade, with estimates that a hack is attempted every 3 seconds. One of the Department of Homeland Security’s highest priorities is to grow and equip talent in the area of cybersecurity. This is an area where future opportunities will continue to grow. As such, the average salary for cybersecurity professionals is over $98,000/year.
