The Digital Age makes it more important than ever to be security-aware online. From the personal information on our devices to the infrastructure that supports critical services, Cyber-security protects our data and systems from malicious actors who try to steal, compromise or misuse it.

The number of breaches is rising and cyber attackers are growing more sophisticated. New attack techniques make legacy security solutions less effective. SNHU’s undergraduate and graduate degree programs can help you gain the skills, knowledge and mindset to build a successful career in securing systems, protecting information assets and managing organizational risk.

Almost every industry faces cybersecurity risks, whether it’s local government agencies, nonprofit organizations or.gov websites that collect sensitive data, or whether it’s supply chains, hospitals, financial institutions or critical infrastructure providers. Thousands of new vulnerabilities are discovered in old applications and devices each year. And human errors-such as careless employees or disgruntled former workers who have access to a company’s system-are a major threat to any organization.

To keep pace with evolving threats, organizations need to modernize their cybersecurity strategy. They need a comprehensive approach that covers their entire IT infrastructure, including on-prem and cloud environments. And they need to integrate solutions that enable them to reduce alert fatigue and automate time-consuming tasks so security pros can focus on more complex threats. This is where artificial intelligence (AI) plays an important role. AI can automate threat detection, identify uncategorized attacks and even predict novel malware tactics that may bypass traditional security controls.
