industry standards. Students in the program will learn to protect the confidential- ity, availability, and integrity of information and information systems that support modern organizations.
“The NGU cybersecurity major will develop students to be leaders in the growing cybersecurity field and employed by prominent organizations worldwide."
“The curriculum will focus on both the fundamentals of information systems as well as advanced topics in areas such as network security, cryptography, risk man- agement, security governance, business continuity, security architecture, physical security, and critical infrastructures,” he said.
A key feature of NGU’s Cybersecurity program is equipping students to take and pass many industry certification exams, which certify an individual’s knowledge in the information security profession, including Network+, Linux+, Security+, and other exams to obtain these globally recognized credentials.
“Demand for certified security professionals is expected to rise as global commerce and modern society become increasingly dependent on information systems and related technologies,” said Hamlett. “The NGU Cybersecurity major will develop students to be leaders in the growing cybersecurity field and employed by promi- nent organizations worldwide.”
The leading-edge program will appeal to students passionate about justice, and can
provide top pay and excellent career opportunities. The skills can be used in varied forms of law enforcement.
“I am very excited to be offering our new Cybersecurity degree to NGU students. Graduates with this degree will be able to enter some of the most vital and signif- icant careers available for the next 30 years. Like all fields, cybersecurity needs leaders trained in Christ-centered institutions, and I am happy to begin training just such leaders,” said Dean of the College of Humanities and Sciences Dr. H. Paul Thompson, Jr. “I am convinced that Professor Hamlett will provide excellent leadership and maintain high academic standards for the program. Young people will be blessed to study under him.”
Topics of study will include application development, information technology infrastructure, information security principles, information security standards, risk management, compliance, network security and cryptography, physical and oper- ational security, penetration testing and ethical hacking, professional certification test preparation, and a Cybersecurity capstone.
Some of the Cybersecurity positions available on the job market include Artificial Intelligence Security Analyst, Chief Information Security Officer (CISO), Count- er-espionage Analyst, Cyber Intelligence Specialist, Cybersecurity Attorney, Ethical Hacker, and Forensic Computer Analyst.
