The Cyber Security graduate certificate program at George Brown College is designed to meet the high demand for cyber security professionals and related IT security professionals across multiple sectors – including consulting services, finance, and health care.
Students begin with learning the theory and practical skills required to become a cyber security professional, including the differences and similarities between cyber security and hacking. A holistic approach is used, with students learning about the primary attack surfaces (physical, social, electronic). Students will learn about methods for compromising the attack surfaces, and how to mitigate potential attacks.
In the third semester, students will learn advanced techniques in ethical hacking incident response. A capstone group project will allow students to showcase their skills and talents to potential employers.
Students graduating from this program are prepared to help defend organizations from the many cyber threats, including malware, network attacks, and data compromise. They will have the capabilities to monitor, assess, and evaluate security risks and threats to physical and digital infrastructure, develop and implement security contingency planning, and lead the development of policies and procedures to ensure the mitigation of security risks.
