1 Cyber Security We live in a digital world. Whether it s keeping in touch with friends, operating a city s energy grid or strengthening national security, it happens online. The need to secure our networks has never been greater. The number of cyber attacks increases dramatically every year, and people with technical skills are needed to ensure online security. As a student in the Cybersecurity program at the Public Service Leadership Academy at Fowler, you ll learn how to make online information more secure and protect users from the growing threat of cyber attacks. This program teaches the core concepts needed to understand, assess and protect information security systems. This pathway will develop the knowledge and skills needed to master the core concepts in cybersecurity. The pathway will cover the three foundation areas of information security: Networking Operating Systems Systems Administration CAREER OPPORTUNITIES: Security Manager, Cyber Threat Analyst 59
