Designed and taught in collaboration with industry experts, RWU?s cutting-edge Cybersecurity & Networking program trains the next generation of high-demand information security specialists to protect the computer networks we rely on every day. With courses that cover technology security and networking skills combined with a specialized focus area like digital forensics or audits -- all taught through hands-on study in our Forensics and Networking Security lab -- you?ll learn how to solve issues like hacking, cyberattacks and internal threats for any organization.

This program focuses on hands-on knowledge of computers, routers, switches, and other technologies as a basis for study and adds a security focus to provide insight into the technology needs of modern corporations who deal with both hacking, internal threats, error and audit as part of the IT specialization.

The program is IT oriented but security driven and should provide students with a diverse resume suitable to jobs such as network administration, IT security specialist, firewalling support, penetration testing, packet analysis, and other IT support roles within the networking, security, or IT departments of the organization.
