Cybersecurity Management Certification

Protect Systems. Mitigate Risk. Lead Strategic Cyber Initiatives.

As cyber threats evolve in complexity and scale, organizations need leaders who can proactively manage risk, protect critical information assets, and ensure business continuity. The Cybersecurity Management Certification is a graduate-level certification designed to prepare professionals with the knowledge, strategic thinking, and technical insight to lead cybersecurity initiatives.

This certification includes three essential courses:

• Emerging Cyber Threats (CBY 630): Explore current and emerging cybersecurity threats in a rapidly shifting global landscape. Students will analyze real-world security incidents, evaluate preventive technologies, and examine the evolving risks posed by mobile devices, cloud computing, and more. The course blends traditional cybersecurity practices with forward-looking defense strategies.
• Information Assurance Management and Analytics (CBY 640): Gain strategic and tactical skills in safeguarding organizational data. Students will learn how to manage information assurance projects, lead policy development, build organizational consensus, and measure the business impact of security programs. This course emphasizes data analytics, compliance, education, and value creation through effective cyber governance.
• Strategic Cybersecurity Crisis Management (CBY 650): Prepare to lead during high-stakes security events. This course focuses on crisis management, risk assessment, business continuity, and disaster recovery. Students will develop and present executive-level cybersecurity response plans and learn how to implement layered defenses, identity management, and post-incident recovery systems.

This certification is ideal for professionals seeking leadership roles in cybersecurity, risk management, IT governance, or information assurance.

This certification can be completed on its own or count as three of the ten courses required toward your MBA.
