About Cybersecurity Management & Policy at the Worldwide & Online Campus

The future of cybersecurity in business and government will depend on people who have insight not only on how to build secure systems but also design, implement, and enforce information management and security policies and systems. As the world continues to remain connected via cyberspace, there’s a growing demand for cybersecurity careers in government, contracting, IT, armed forces, financial services, education, and health care. The Master of Science in Cybersecurity Management & Policy program at Embry-Riddle Worldwide provides students with the education to protect and manage information, the most valuable asset in any organization. The profession needs technically astute individuals who can weave management and policy development skills with an understanding of the technical aspects of cybersecurity.

This 30-credit online program is particularly well suited to professionals already in the workforce who need additional education to build their skill set in this ever-growing area of practice.

The Worldwide Campus’ goal is for graduates to emerge from the MS in Cybersecurity Management & Policy program with an understanding of cybersecurity and its ramifications across the organization, along with improved critical thinking, leadership, and management skills.

Embry-Riddle Cybersecurity Management & Policy curriculum is constantly updated to reflect a rapidly changing industry. Students can expect to study: risk assessment, management, and mediation; threat vectors and mitigation processes; design and management of secure information systems; emerging tools and resources for industry and platform security; and current events in cybersecurity and data breaches.

Offered completely online, this program also allows you to network with fellow professionals from around the world, as well as skillful faculty members with decades of practical experience.
