Overview

This Cybersecurity certificate at University of Nevada, Las Vegas is a joint offering from the College of Engineering and the School of Business. This is somewhat unique in that many cybersecurity programs are offered solely from engineering schools, or a few from business schools.

This duality within the program ensures that students in the program are exposed to the hard skills related to the engineering/hardware/software aspects of cybersecurity, but also to the managerial skills of controls, risk management, audit, governance and strategic management related to cybersecurity. Students will thus have a more well-rounded education and opportunity to specialize more to their strengths within cybersecurity.

Learning Outcomes

Evaluate the computer network and information security needs of an organization.

Assess cybersecurity risk management policies in order to adequately protect critical resources and assets.

Demonstrate a mastery of in-depth knowledge of cybersecurity.

Formulate, update and communicate regarding organizational cyber-related strategies and policies.
