Cybersecurity Management

Cybersecurity is one of the fastest growing career fields in the country, and for good reason. The livelihood of today's organizations — from private businesses to publicly traded companies, healthcare providers to government agencies — depends on their protection of digital information and prevention of cyberattacks.

In York College's Cybersecurity Management program, you'll combine your understanding of technology with skills in strategic communication and management. You'll also develop insight into the origins of cyberthreat as you pursue one of four specializations: strategy, operational security, intelligence analysis, or criminal justice. 

The annual economic impact of cybercrime exceeds $6 trillion, causing demand for cybersecurity management professionals to increase exponentially from year to year. Job openings in information security and the cybersecurity industry are projected to grow at a rate of more than 30% from 2019-2029 (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics). Majoring in Cybersecurity Management will give you the tools you need to be successful in this high-growth field.
