The George Washington University has developed two online cybersecurity master’s degrees as well as an online master’s degree in cloud computing management to prepare graduates for addressing these issues from different, but equally important, angles.
Over the past decade, the information security community has seen a rise in advanced persistent threats (APTs) — attacks utilize a mixture of hacking, malware, social engineering and other tactics to gain increased levels of access to sensitive systems. High-profile data breaches, phishing scams and malware attacks have made cybersecurity a top priority for organizations. Along with the need for professionals with the technical acumen to identify and mitigate these threats, employers today look for leaders who can implement long-term strategies and operate cybersecurity solutions.
