About Course
Cybersecurity is one of the fastest-growing and most undefined fields in today’s world. Globally, definitions of cybersecurity vary as much as the information that is being protected.
From government secrets and corporate intelligence to competitive advantage and the private medical information on individuals, data protection is a daunting task. Organizational roles are widely unknown, and many economies are failing from a security perspective. Hackers and cybercriminals now operate in large organized crime rings making billions of dollars from unsuspecting individuals, corporations, and governments. No one is safe.
EC-Council University’s Graduate Certificate Program focuses on the competencies necessary for cybersecurity professionals to become managers, directors, and CIOs. Students will experience not only specialized technical training in a variety of IT security areas, but they will also acquire an understanding of organizational structure and behavior, the skills to work within and across that organizational structure, and the ability to analyze and navigate its hierarchy successfully. Each certificate targets skills and understandings specific to particular roles in the IT security framework of an organization. The certificates can be taken individually or as multiples of up to five––each building across knowledge domains from IT practitioner skill levels to IT executive skill levels.
