MS in Cybersecurity Risk Management

Make a difference in the fight against cyber attacks

Recent cyberattacks have highlighted the importance of cybersecurity. Organizations need professionals at all levels—not just in the IT department—who understand the technical, legal and business aspects of cybersecurity risk management, as well as how to safeguard privacy.

Only the MS in Cybersecurity Risk Management from Indiana University will give you the unique—and valuable—ability to identify and mitigate a wide range of cyber threats in your chosen career path.

This degree program brings together cybersecurity courses from three of IU’s top-ranked schools—the School of Informatics, Computing, and Engineering, the Kelley School of Business and the Maurer School of Law—and uniquely focuses on the intersection of technology, business, and law.

Students can earn concentrations within the MS, or they may take a more ‘general’ track. Before enrolling in the MS, you might be interested in earning one of IU’s cybersecurity certificates. All credits earned as a certificate student apply to the MS.

Your holistic training will prepare you to:

• Protect privacy and intellectual property.
• Promote information and systems security.
