Why Study Cyber Security?
Cyber security skills enable professionals to protect the integrity of various platforms, ensure that company operations run smoothly, and reassure customers about the security of their personal data. In the first six months of 2021, ransomware attacks increased by 151% globally. In Canada, the estimated average cost of a data breach is $6.35 million. Cyber security offers excellent career prospects.
Acquiring cyber security skills is essential if you want to be able to identify cyber risks and effectively combat cyber attacks that are increasingly becoming more sophisticated each year. Cyber security specialists are now present at all levels of an organization—from system design to governance to customer service. Qualified professionals in the field of cyber security are in high demand by large organizations.
At Cumberland College, we are aware of the various challenges related to cyber security. Our ACS in Cyber Security has been carefully designed to ensure that graduates develop a strong ability to identify issues and implement measures that will adequately protect investments and corporate reputations.
