The Cybersecurity concentration provides students with opportunities to integrate education and training with the application of problem-solving skills in the lab environment to examine the multi-faceted nature of computer security. It covers the fundamental concepts such as cryptography, threats, and vulnerabilities, underlying secure system design from hardware to software, and cutting-edge Machine Learning and IoT systems. Students will develop a security-oriented way of thinking, a deeper understanding of adversaries, and how to build the countermeasures that defend against them.
