Cybersecurity Analyst
350 Hours / 8 Months, Part Time Program
This part-time Cybersecurity program features expert instruction, hands-on projects, and live labs to get graduates trained in handling current attack vectors.
Studies suggest a huge shortage in Cybersecurity Analysts and a constant increase in demand for this profession. According to Deloitte, “A massive and growing talent shortfall is one of the most critical challenges facing the cybersecurity world today. In fact, nowhere in IT is the talent shortage more pronounced than in the cyber arena.”
Cyber attacks are on the rise everywhere you look, making cybersecurity one of the hottest professions in technology.
The highly lucrative role of a Cybersecurity Analyst puts up a fight against hackers looking to penetrate an organization’s network for malicious purposes.
Enable Students to Serve as The Forefront of Organizations' Defense
Students will learn to identify attacks at their earliest stages and prevent significant damage to the organization’s network. Students will develop knowledge of cybersecurity tools, emerging threats, typical vulnerabilities, and hacking patterns.
Learn from Industry Experts
Equip students to succeed in a rapidly expanding field with help from our network of cyber experts, instructors, hiring partners, and alumni. The Cybersecurity Analyst curriculum was created in collaboration with the industry’s leading companies to make our programs as relevant as possible to the local industry’s needs, assuring graduates will be job-ready as soon as the program ends.
Guide Students to Deliver a Professional Project
We believe that the best learning is done through hands-on work. Accordingly, the entire program is run as an ongoing lab during which students are required to install attack and defense environments, set up and build cybersecurity tools, and experience scenarios simulating real-world events.
As the program covers diverse multidisciplinary knowledge and skills, the program’s final BIT (Bring It Together) Project will be devoted to conducting an integrative lab scenario that will require students to demonstrate knowledge, skills, and capabilities from all of the disciplines they have learned.
Who Is the Program For?
Driven and motivated individuals, with or without previous IT background, who wish to advance their career as a Cybersecurity Analyst or a Security Operations Center (SOC) team member.
Real-World Simulations in Cyber Labs
- Advanced cyber labs for educating the next generation of cyber professionals.
- Allows trainers to demonstrate and let students experience real-life scenarios. Students can experiment with potential responses in real-time.
