Master of Business Administration - Computer and Information Security
The requirement for computer security knowledge increases as new techniques and technologies are developed. Existing protections in systems and network perimeters must be constantly upgraded to meet evolving threats. In this specialization, you will gain not only the managerial knowledge to lead projects and teams, but also increase your technical knowledge in key computer security disciplines. You will explore the latest information security threats, defenses and trends, and examine realistic examples of the crucial links between security theory and the day-to-day security challenges in IT environments. As a final assignment, you will complete a written research project demonstrating your ability to investigate on a workplace problem and recommend a plan of preventative action.
