Associate in Applied Science

Does your business have a disaster recovery and business continuity plan?  Do you have a cold, warm, or hot site ready to take over during an emergency?  Do your employees know about and use strong passwords?  Can they recognize attempts at Social Engineering?  Do you run regular backups of your systems?  Are the backups tested?  Are your computers protected from malicious code?  Are you able to detect and prevent intrusions on your network?  Does your business have an Incident Response team in place and ready to respond to a critical event on your network or site?  Are you able to establish secure, encrypted connections across the Internet for your clients?  Do you regularly apply security patches to your operating systems and applications?  Is your network able to continue running during a power outage or in the event of a hardware failure?

As a graduate of the Computer Security and Forensics degree, you will be able to provide answers to all of these questions and implement solutions for businesses that rely on computers, digital information, or the Internet.  It doesn’t matter if you are a large corporation or Mom’n Pop small business, digital data security is vital to your professional success!
