Overview

Course overview

To effectively respond to organizational threats, the cyber-security manager merges basic knowledge of cybersecurity technical skills with an understanding of policy, theory, and business practice. Thus, cyber-security specialists must have: 1) knowledge of computer networking concepts and protocols, and network security methodologies; 2) knowledge of cybersecurity and privacy principles used to manage risks related to the use, processing, storage, and transmission of information; 3) knowledge of cyber threats and vulnerabilities; 4) knowledge of risk management processes (e.g. methods of assessing and mitigating risk); and 5) knowledge of vulnerability information dissemination sources (e.g. alerts, advisories, errata, and bulletins).

The need for professionals who understand cyber-security policy and how to manage, direct, deploy and enforce cyber-security practices remains high. The students in the Criminal Justice and Security Studies - Cyber-Security Management at University of Dayton can look beyond law enforcement and successfully pursue security careers with businesses, contracting firms, financial firms and nonprofits. We take a hands-on approach to building the student’s cyber-security skillset. The concentration includes a two-semester analysis and design project carried out with a local business, government agency or nonprofit organization.
