Graduates of this program are equipped to work in roles such as ethical hackers, cybersecurity analysts, network administrators, and information security specialists.

Ethical Hacking

Ethical hacking, also known as penetration testing or white-hat hacking, is the practice of intentionally probing a computer system, network, or application to identify security vulnerabilities that a malicious hacker could exploit. Ethical hackers use their skills to help organizations improve their security posture by identifying and fixing weaknesses before they can be exploited by cybercriminals.

Network

A network is a collection of computers, servers, mainframes, network devices, and other devices connected to one another to share data and resources. Networks can be classified based on their size and geographical scope, such as LANs (Local Area Networks), WANs (Wide Area Networks), and MANs (Metropolitan Area Networks). Networks enable communication and data exchange between devices, allowing users to access shared resources, like files, printers, and internet connections.
