The Computer Science Cybersecurity Certificate provides students with the opportunity to gain a technical understanding of computing system security from software, hardware, and communications perspectives.
The program is comprised of three subject areas: Foundations of Computer Security and Operational Security (theory); Software Security, Malware Analysis and Reverse Engineering (practice); and Emerging Machine Learning Security and IoT Security (applications). It also provides students with information and skills to implement exploitation techniques, mitigation solutions, and best practices to enforce security through bundled programming and hands-on security labs.
