Training and education in cybersecurity falls far short of current needs, and what will be required in the future. Worldwide by 2021, there will be 3.5 million unfilled cybersecurity positions. Such skills shortage leaves the public, private sectors, and governments vulnerable. Moreover, the global cost of cyber- attacks is believed to grow to $2.1 trillion by 2020. With these figures in mind, we need to develop talent in Cybersecurity – and fast! The Canadian Institute for Cybersecurity (CIC) at the University of New Brunswick is using 20+ years of cyber- security innovation and talent development to provide a one-year Master of Applied Cybersecurity (MACSec).

The Faculty of Computer Science and CIC are partnering to develop talent – ready to contribute as cybersecurity experts.

The program is structured in three semesters (Fall, Winter, and Summer) for a total duration of one year. The topics explored throughout the graduate program in cybersecurity include:

  • Advanced data communications and networking
  • Cryptanalysis and database security
  • Fundamentals of information assurance
  • Foundations of privacy
  • Network security
  • Software security
  • Digital forensics elective + capstone project
  • Condensed training, R&D project

The MBA program at UNB has been a game-changer for me. The mix of solid academics and real-world application is perfect—professors are experts in their fields, and the course content is both challenging and relevant. What I really love is the small class sizes, which make it easy to connect with classmates and get personalized attention from professors.

The program covers all the key areas of business, but it also focuses on leadership, ethics, and hands-on experience. The networking opportunities are top-notch, with access to a strong alumni network and industry professionals. I feel confident and well-equipped to take on bigger roles in my career thanks to the skills and connections I’ve gained here. Overall, it’s been an amazing experience!
