Know the Threats. Build the Defense. Protect What Matters.

Think cybersecurity is all about stopping hackers? There’s much more to it. From protecting sensitive information to investigating suspicious activity, cybersecurity professionals help organizations stay one step ahead of digital threats.

Students learn how to identify vulnerabilities, monitor security systems, investigate incidents, and assess risks that could put an organization’s information and operations in jeopardy. Through hands-on labs and practical exercises, you’ll explore the tools and techniques used to protect networks, devices, and cloud environments while developing the problem-solving skills needed in cybersecurity operations.

In this program, you’ll learn how to:

• Identify cybersecurity threats, vulnerabilities, and potential security risks
• Explore security controls that protect networks, devices, applications, and cloud environments
• Use security monitoring concepts and vulnerability scanning techniques to investigate potential threats
• Apply risk management principles, security policies, and compliance practices
• Prepare for the CompTIA Security+ certification examination

You’ll bring your training together through a cybersecurity capstone featuring vulnerability assessments, incident response investigations, compliance reviews, and risk assessments. You’ll also develop a professional portfolio and present your findings, demonstrating how cybersecurity knowledge can be applied to realistic workplace scenarios.

Protecting information systems begins with understanding risk. Students explore risk management concepts, incident response planning, contingency planning, access controls, firewalls, VPN technologies, intrusion detection and prevention systems, cryptography, information security implementation, and security maintenance activities. The course demonstrates how administrative and technical controls work together to reduce organizational risk and support secure operations.

CORM 154 – Security Foundations

Cybersecurity professionals must understand the building blocks of a secure environment before implementing security controls. Students examine fundamental security concepts, threat actors, threat intelligence, security controls, risk considerations, and common defensive strategies. The course establishes the framework used throughout the Security+ sequence and introduces the security mindset required for protecting systems, networks, and information resources.

CORM 155 – Cryptography and Public Key Infrastructure

Secure communication and data protection are essential components of modern cybersecurity. Learners study cryptographic algorithms, encryption technologies, cryptographic attacks, digital certificates, public key infrastructure, secure communication protocols, and cryptographic implementation. Practical exercises reinforce how cryptography supports confidentiality, integrity, authentication, and trust across organizational systems and networks.

CORM 156 – Device Security and Authentication

A strong cybersecurity posture depends on securing endpoints, applications, and user identities. Instruction focuses on malware attacks, application vulnerabilities, endpoint protection, mobile device security, embedded and specialized systems, application security practices, authentication technologies, and access controls. Students gain practical experience implementing security measures that help reduce exposure to device and identity-based threats.

CORM 157 – Infrastructure, Network, and Cloud Security

Modern organizations rely on secure networks, cloud platforms, and infrastructure services to support business operations. Students investigate network attacks, monitoring and alerting technologies, email security, security appliances, software protection mechanisms, infrastructure design, access technologies, wireless security, cloud computing, cloud security, and virtualization security. Laboratory activities strengthen networking fundamentals while demonstrating how cybersecurity controls are applied across enterprise environments.

CORM 158 – Security Operations, Investigations, and Program Management

Effective cybersecurity programs require continuous monitoring, vulnerability management, incident preparation, operational oversight, and security administration. Students learn to perform vulnerability scanning activities, evaluate audit and assessment results, develop preparatory plans, support incident investigations, improve operational resilience, and apply information security management principles. Additional topics include asset protection and risk analysis techniques used to support organizational cybersecurity programs and day-to-day security operations.

CORM 159 – Security+ Certification Review

Designed as a comprehensive certification preparation experience, this module reinforces the knowledge and skills required for the CompTIA Security+ examination. Students review security concepts, threats and vulnerabilities, security architecture, security operations, and security program management topics while completing practice assessments and certification-focused exercises. Test-taking strategies, remediation activities, and practice examinations help learners build confidence and readiness for certification testing.

CORM 160 – Career Readiness and Job Seeking Skills

Professional success depends on more than technical knowledge. Students develop resumes, LinkedIn profiles, interview skills, technical documentation samples, communication strategies, and a professional portfolio that highlights their accomplishments throughout the program. Workforce readiness activities are designed to prepare graduates for entry-level opportunities in cybersecurity, information security, and related technology fields.

CORM 161 – Cybersecurity Practicum and Capstone

The practicum serves as the culminating experience of the program. Students apply knowledge and skills gained throughout the curriculum by completing a series of project-based activities involving vulnerability assessments, risk assessments, incident response investigations, security awareness initiatives, compliance reviews, portfolio development, and executive presentations. Successful completion demonstrates the student’s ability to apply cybersecurity concepts in realistic workplace scenarios and communicate findings in a professional manner.
