Cyber Security Science Department

Cyber Security is the body of technologies, processes and practices designed to protect networks, computers, programs and data from attack, damage or unauthorized access. The world has become a global village through the Internet (cyber space). The use of the Internet is also commonplace in all types of organizations, in academia, research, industry, government, private and business organizations. As such the potential for cyber security-related careers will continue to grow and the career paths in cyber security-related fields will become more diverse.

The career opportunities for cyber security science graduates includes: internet security, software security, information security, networks security, cyber security research, to mention few. Some careers require additional formal training or study, and experience working in the field.
