To remain globally competitive, organizations must pass critical information through their computer networks every minute, thereby increasing the risk of exposing valuable systems to attack. Security is now of utmost concern for organizations, their clients, their employers, and their partners, as threats of information manipulation and infrastructure failures increase, and network environments become more vulnerable.The Network Security Management Graduate Certificate teaches students to apply theoretical concepts in the networking and cryptography courses to real-world network deployment scenarios, securing access to systems, and preventing potential intrusions. Sample lab assignments include working with scanning tools, denial of service attacks and prevention, network intrusion detection tools, and open source tools such as PGP, as well as dealing with common occurrences, such as buffer overflow. Students should have a basic knowledge of information technology terminology and concepts. Courses from this certificate also serve as a specialization in the Master of Professional Studies in Informatics.
