The curriculum covers the construction and maintenance of secure software systems and tools to ensure the integrity of data and network communication. This spans topics from theoretical cryptographic protocols to government and corporate policy on data privacy, with attention to various techniques for mitigating the risk of data breaches and unauthorized access to networked devices and systems. Courses consist of formal lectures as well as hands-on programming, network administration, and counter-hacking projects. Students learn how to identify security vulnerabilities in local, networked, and cloud software systems, and develop rigorous data management and software development workflows. MS in Cybersecurity & Privacy graduates leave the program with the competencies needed to: design and build secure infrastructure for managing data and communication both in the cloud and on local servers, provide expert insight on security standards and protocols in large-scale software development or data analytics projects, play a key role in performing ad-hoc analyses of data stored in corporate or government databases and propose solutions to potential vulnerabilities, and serve as a network administrator, using penetration testing and other ethical hacking techniques to harden the system against attack.
