Computer networks link devices to enable data exchange. The Networks and Security specialization focuses on creating, implementing, and managing network systems while safeguarding them from digital threats.
Network security technology plays a crucial role across numerous contemporary sectors such as healthcare, scientific research, national security, and food production.
Industries urgently need skilled experts capable of grasping networking and security fundamentals, applying them in practical solutions, and defending against online attacks.
This concentration offers required and optional classes covering network infrastructure, cyber-defense strategies (including cutting-edge security technologies), penetration testing, database management, and programming. Learners will acquire essential knowledge in security system design, encryption methods, system weaknesses, threat identification, malicious software examination, network monitoring, infrastructure planning, and network application creation. The CSU Cyber-Security Center of Excellence enhances this curriculum with specialized labs, research projects, and professional certification programs.
