Data Science for Cybersecurity

With increasingly sophisticated cyber attacks now part of our daily lives, well-trained cybersecurity professionals are needed to respond to fast-changing threats, secure information systems, and protect national infrastructure. However, these professionals must also be adept at accessing, manipulating, and analyzing the enormous amounts of data generated by modern computing systems.

Fordham's Advanced Certificate in Data Science for Cybersecurity helps to meet this need by ensuring that those entering into the field, as well as existing cybersecurity professionals, establish a solid background in data science and have experience in applying data science methods to cybersecurity problems.

From Applied Cryptography and Blockchain Technology to Artificial Intelligence and Data Visualization, this distinct certificate program will take students through the fundamentals of both cybersecurity and data science __preparing you to pursue a wider variety of career positions and opportunities for advancement.
