The Master of Science in Cyber Security Engineering focuses on the fundamental theories and practices for designing, engineering, and operating high assurance secure information systems. The program is intended for students who desire to obtain jobs in which computer security knowledge and skills are required, who wish to continue on a path toward enrollment for a doctoral degree focusing on information security, or who are currently in job fields that have responsibility for information security.

Admitted students should have a programming background and above average mathematical foundation with an undergraduate degree in computer science, electrical engineering, or information security. They should also have an understanding of computer networking and operating systems and a desire to learn information security techniques and tools that are directly applicable to current information security challenges.

Students will learn the fundamentals of developing, engineering and operating secure information systems. They will become versed in the challenges and problems of secure operating systems, secure applications, secure networking, database security and privacy, use of cryptography and key management. They will learn to develop a security policy and how policy drives technology decisions. Students will gain the knowledge and skills necessary to administer environments that require high levels of information security, both from the standpoint of the principles of information protection and the role application technology has in meeting information protection needs. Students will understand the value of assets, the business model of threats, the threat matrix, mitigation strategies, and how this integrates with the core organizational mission. They will understand why information security plans succeed or fail. Students will have hands-on experience simulating real-world scenarios with extensive laboratory work that is designed by current and former information security practitioners.

An urgent need exists for a workforce with advanced technical skills in everything related to security and communications. the CEC's computing, IT, and engineering programs, with their emphasis on cybersecurity, prepare students to create and maintain crucial information systems that will protect our nation from cyber threats with innovative knowledge and effective tools.

This security engineering certification recognizes your keen ability to practically apply systems engineering principles and processes to develop secure systems. You have the knowledge and skills to incorporate security into projects, applications, business processes and all information systems.

This program is our outreach effort to the very best undergraduate and graduate computer cybersecurity, computer science, engineering, mathematics, network security and information assurance students in the country. You will work with other students in teams and directly with technical professionals on mission-critical cyber-related problems.

You will learn about the dynamic field that governs the facilities and complex engineering frameworks that support massive parallel computing systems. DCFM involves an unprecedented integrated approach that combines power and HVAC engineering disciplines with information technology. All these branches of knowledge join together to help create a safe and secure environment where parallel computing systems and their infrastructure can operate at peak efficiency with optimal potential for future expansion. DCFM also ensures that efficient and forward-thinking practices are implemented during the design, construction, installation, and maintenance projects that occur regularly within the walls of an operating data center.

Open to: Undergraduate juniors and seniors, graduate and doctoral students Majors/fields: Computer science, computer networking, cyber and Information Security, computer technology/computer information technologies, management information systems, information systems security, information assurance, computer and information systems, network system administration, computer engineering, cybersecurity engineering, mechanical engineering, electronics engineering, software engineering, electrical engineering, system/network administration and operations, systems security engineering, information assurance systems and project acquisition, cryptography, threat and vulnerability assessment, risk management, operations of computer emergency response teams, education and management, computer forensics/cyber forensics/digital forensics, defensive information operations When: 12-week program from mid-May or June

Email gateways are the number one threat vector for a security breach. Attackers use personal information and social engineering tactics to build sophisticated phishing campaigns to deceive recipients and send them to sites serving up malware. An email security application blocks incoming attacks and controls outbound messages to prevent the loss of sensitive data.

The cyber security engineering minor is intended for students studying computer engineering, computer science, software engineering, or management information systems with the goal of enabling them to work in cyber security. The minor consists of a series of lab based courses that are designed to provide students with both the technical background and the hands-on experiences along with the theoretical background to allow them to compete for jobs in cyber security.

A minor in computer engineering cybersecurity covers the fields of information security, network security, and computer system security. The coursework within the CYCP minor is based upon national training standards for cybersecurity professionals, recommended by the Department of Defense, the National Security Agency and the Committee on National Security Systems. You'll complete 21-23.5 credits.

The intent of the program is not to provide a comprehensive self-contained competency, but rather to provide the student with special attention, in the context of an MS program or in professional practice, to information security issues inherent in computer science / electrical and computer engineering subject matter. It therefore highlights security dimensions of existing coursework and professional experience.

Provide analysis and design of business systems for different applications such as: financial, accounting, human resources, and other enterprise systems. Handle test scripts and service requirements; work closely with end users on project development and implementation. Analysts should have a working knowledge of relational database environments, structured analysis, data modeling, information engineering, mathematical model building, sampling, and cost accounting to plan the system. Specify the inputs to be accessed by the system, design the processing steps, and format the output to meet the users' needs. Prepare cost-benefit and return-on-investment analyses to help management decide whether implementing the proposed system will be financially feasible. Possess excellent verbal and written communications skills.
