About the Network Security Manager Certificate Program

The purpose of the Network Security Manager certificate is to provide the student who is already employed in the area of information technology the knowledge and skills needed to prepare for careers as security systems analysts, security business analysts, database administrators, or system development managers.

Students learn basic concepts and terminology in computer networks and data communications, as well as project initiation, fact gathering, procedures, forms, system implementation and evaluation. They also study legal and ethical issues, security technologies, risk management, network and system security, cryptography, and information security maintenance. Students learn to detect and analyze data stored or hidden on computer systems and to implement database security and auditing in order to protect data.
