Become a Cybersecurity Expert with Real-World Experience

Are you ready to embark on an exciting journey into the world of cybersecurity? Cybersecurity is the practice of safeguarding computers, servers, networks, and digital systems from unauthorized access, damage, or theft. It involves implementing measures and techniques to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of electronically stored and transmitted information. Just as you secure your home with locks, cybersecurity encompasses the safeguards that keep your digital information and resources safe from cybercriminals.

At Johnson & Wales University, our innovative Cyber Threat Intelligence and Defense Bachelor's Program will equip you with the skills and knowledge you need to protect digital systems. From day one, we immerse our students in real-world, hands-on experiences, ensuring that you gain the practical expertise required in this fast-growing industry.

Pioneers in Experiential Education 

At Johnson & Wales, we stand out as pioneers in experiential education, seamlessly integrating industry-relevant experiences into our cybersecurity program. As cyber threats become more sophisticated, we recognize the importance of practical learning. From your very first year, you'll have the opportunity to apply your skills and knowledge in simulated cyber threat scenarios, honing your abilities to protect digital assets. We believe in learning by doing and our program reflects this philosophy.

In this program, you'll:

• Discover trends and create behavioral profiles of adversary groups to combat attacks against computers and networks in the public and private sector.
• Blend physical reconnaissance and defense with modern information technology techniques, including setting up firewalls, scanning for viruses, and routinely checking for breaches in security.
• Learn incident response techniques that detect, scope and respond to internal and external intelligence, decreasing cyber attackers' likelihood of success with each intrusion attempt.
• Identify, extract, prioritize and leverage intelligence from advanced persistent threat (APT) intrusions; deploy countermeasures; and gauge the performance of planned and installed enterprise-level information security systems.
