Digital security and infrastructure

100+ courses in network security, ethical hacking, forensics and compliance, mapped to the CISSP, CEH and CompTIA Security+ certifications employers hire for.

Overview

Teach cybersecurity and systems administration from one pathway built for US higher education. The catalogue covers network security, ethical hacking, digital forensics and compliance frameworks, plus enterprise systems administration and cloud infrastructure. Students configure and secure networks, run vulnerability assessments and respond to incidents, and they learn the governance and regulatory standards the job demands, including GDPR, HIPAA and PCI DSS.

Hands-on labs put students in front of the same tools security professionals use day to day. The pathway maps to the certifications hiring managers ask for, including CISSP, CEH, CompTIA Security+ and Cisco CCNA, which matters in a field where qualified people are in short supply. It suits undergraduate and graduate programmes, and faculty get case studies, guided labs and teaching materials that prepare students for work in security operations, IT administration, and governance, risk and compliance.
