CYBER SECURE NGU LAUNCHES NEW DEGREE PROGRAM


North Greenville University is stepping into Cybersecurty, as it will begin a bache- lor’s degree program in 2021. Students can study in a traditional in-person format or enjoy the flexibility of going 100% online starting in the Fall 2021 semester, pending approval from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Col- leges. Students that study and graduate from the program will have an opportunity to provide Christ-cen- tered leadership in one of the highest-demand, fastest-growing, top- pay labor sectors in America.


Today, cyber-attacks can affect anyone, but some of them are de- signed to leave global damage. A cyber-attack is an internet attack intended by individuals or entire organizations that targets computer information systems,


networks, or infrastructures. When they appear, they come from a seemingly anony- mous source that will attempt to destroy its victim through hacking into its system.


There have been many worldwide cyber-attacks, and some are happening right now. The latest statistics say that security breaches have increased by 11% since 2018 and 67% since 2014.


Cyber-attack maps are valuable tools that give information on how to stay ahead of attacks. Even though we’re talking about enormous amounts of damage that cyber criminals cause, the maps themselves can be fascinating to watch.


“Every 39 seconds, a cyber-attack occurs. While some of these are manually targeted cyber-attacks, some are also botnets intent on shutting down infrastructure and destroying computers and information systems of major organizations,” said Brad Hamlett, cybersecurity program director and assistant professor of cybersecurity and computer science.


Hamlett holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from Furman University, and a Master of Science degree in Cybersecurity from the University of Maryland. Before teaching at NGU, Hamlett worked as a senior intelligence analyst and senior information tech- nology specialist for the U.S. Army and U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. He has worked highly sensitive intelligence operations and large IT projects for the nation, managing a $34 million portfolio of IT projects. He holds numerous industry certi- fications in information technology and project management. Hamlett is passionate about sharing how the gospel has transformed his life and how Christianity offers the best social framework for human flourishing.


Hamlett says the framework for NGU’s Cybersecurity courses is designed to map to 22 | NGU.EDU
