Security Analyst Certificate

The Security Analyst certificate program offers you the opportunity to gain hands-on training for in-demand skills such as knowing how to identify and correct flaws in a company’s security systems, solutions, and programs.

Students who complete this program are well-prepared to pursue the CySA+ industry certification exam. You will also be able to work with companies of all sizes, specifically businesses related to vulnerable sectors of the economy, such as the military, oil, and gas companies, and banks.

Effective workplace skills are one of the greatest assets for new graduates or people who have decided to change their career path. The technical knowledge and skills obtained throughout this course are important for future employment, but the ability to transition the knowledge into a new working environment is invaluable.
