Description
RIT’s BS degree in cybersecurity produces professionals who understand the people and processes that impact the safety and security of computer systems. In addition to acquiring state-of-the-art knowledge in protecting digital assets of large and 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. This major provides you with a solid foundation in computer science and mathematics. Core courses include a programming sequence, ethics, a computer networking and system administration sequence, and foundation courses in computer and network security. Beginning in your third year, you will launch an in-depth exploration of a range of aspects of cybersecurity with advanced electives that allow you to design the focus of your degree. You may choose from an extensive selection of advanced topics in the areas of network and system security, digital forensics and malware, software security, data security and privacy, and cyber analytics and intelligence. You can also create a customized cluster of advanced electives to address an area of professional interest.
