It is reported that the Pentagon repels more than 10 million hacking attempts per day, and the state of Utah repels almost 20 million hacking attempts per day (likely due to the new NSA station in that state). To combat hacking and to investigate computers used in crimes, the practice of cybersecurity at Guilford is founded upon technological, scientific knowledge, ethics, principles and practices, which are best learned through formal education and training and the proper conduct of research.

Through practical assignments with real-world applications, Guilford's Cyber and Network Security majors learn appropriate, value-based skills that help them understand and investigate cyber-related crimes. Students practice the skills they learn with labs and exercises, and they take advanced courses in cybersecurity, computer forensics, networking and operating systems.

Guilford’s longstanding mission is clear and distinctive: Provide a transformative, practical, and excellent education that produces critical thinkers in an inclusive, diverse environment that is guided by Quaker testimonies of community, equality, integrity, peace, and simplicity and emphasizes the creative problem-solving skills, experience, enthusiasm, and international perspectives necessary to promote positive change in the world.

Guilford College is grounded in the relentless pursuit of its seven Core Values. These enduring values are the basis of the College’s mission and are guided by the Quaker testimonies. The College was founded by the Society of Friends (Quakers) in 1837, and their principles are reflected in the campus culture.
