Certificate in Cyber Security
Cybersecurity, also known as Information Security, is the protection of data and personally
identifiable information from malicious attacks, theft, and destruction. Failures
of cybersecurity policies, both in large corporations and governmental agencies, have
earned significant visibility and negative publicity in recent months and years. As
the amount of data being stored continues to increase, and as hackers become more
sophisticated, the need for cybersecurity is greater than ever.

Asset Security
Companies must protect their assets. Just as locks go on the doors to protect physical
assets, electronic and data assets must also be guarded. Asset security involves the

front line employees. Various security controls will be described that help protect
privacy, along with data leakage prevention (DLP). Although it is not necessary, having
some foundation in IT concepts is helpful in taking this course.
