The
Doctor of Business Administration with a concentration in Cybersecurity covers
the different cyber-threats in today’s digital age and how we can implement the
best technical and business security practices to mitigate and counter these
risks. Cyber security can be defined in a nutshell, as follows: It is the set
of technologies, processes, and practices designed to protect networks,
computers, programs, and data from attack, damage or unauthorized access.
Cybersecurity knowledge becomes a cornerstone in the development of individuals
and teams that are prepared to protect governmental, military, and commercial
institutions from cyber-attacks. Graduate students will complete one additional
graduate level assignment in each course. The
