19. CYBERSECURITY PROGRAM
INTRO
The MS in Cybersecurity Master’s Degree program at NYU Tandon will
provide you with the critical knowledge and skills to become an expert in
cyber security—the science of protecting vital computer networks and
electronic infrastructures from attacks. The cyber security field is expected to
generate many new jobs over the next decade, as companies across all
industries continue to place top priority on safeguarding their data and
information systems.
The program’s curriculum is developed and taught by NYU Tandon’s
renowned faculty members, who are a blend of well known researchers in
information security as well as practitioners who hold expertise in their field
of teaching with strong IT security, and industry backgrounds.

20. CYBERSECURITY MASTER’S
DEGREE
A recent Gartner report, Security in 2013 and Beyond, called the likeliest future state of information
security as:
“A perpetual arms race, between hackers and criminals on
one side and enterprises and governments on the other
side."
We train you in hacking skills, as well as
defensive security.
Why Earn a Cyber Security Degree?

21. CYBERSECURITY MASTER’S
DEGREE
“The Department of Homeland Security has been recruiting
cyber security professionals from other agencies as well as
from the private sector, but senior officials have called this a
“zero sum game,” because there are not enough trained
professionals coming into the field to meet demand. “There
are not enough people to go around.” *
