- Description
- RIT’s advanced certificate in cybersecurity will teach you how to make computers and networks resistant to attack by monitoring intrusions and closing off vulnerabilities. You will gain the fundamental knowledge and expertise in network security and forensics necessary to implement security in networked environments. By training you to monitor intrusions and close off vulnerabilities, the program provides you with the skills required to make computers and networks resistant to attack. Those attacks that are successful can be detected by applying forensics, which requires gathering information on the nature and extent of the attack for presentation in a court of law, as well as assessing the extent of the damage to an organization. Courses taken as part of this certificate can be transferred into the MS program in cybersecurity.
