Graduate Certificate in Cybersecurity Management
The Graduate Certificate in Cybersecurity Management (GCCM) is designed to provide foundational education in cybersecurity leadership. The certificate coursework empowers developing leaders to design, implement, and operate a security program intended to reduce risk of compromising an organization’s data. Graduate students who obtain this certificate will be better equipped to aid in the design, operation, and monitoring of security controls to protect corporate and consumer data in an age of ever-increasing aggression and sophistication.
