Cybersecurity Management
With the inclusion of Cybersecurity mandates as a part of many/most positions in today’s business environment, a new minor would prepare students to make strategic decisions regarding security initiatives within their employer/organization as well as participate in their implementation and oversight. These skills would make our students more valuable to perspective employers and provide them with a set of skills needed to become a leader as the business world focuses more on the Data-Driven Economy.
