Join a Top-Ranked Center for Cyber Excellence
As more and more high-profile corporations endure debilitating cyberattacks that negatively affect their reputations and their profitability, the need grows for talented cybersecurity professionals to help them defend their digital infrastructures. In fact, Cybersecurity Ventures, a world leader in research for the global cyber economy and a trusted source of cybersecurity information, estimates there will be 3.5 million unfilled cybersecurity positions worldwide by 2025.
That’s why Indiana Tech introduced its cybersecurity degree program in 2016—to develop top-notch professionals who are proficient in combating cybercriminals at all levels of enterprise. We are succeeding, too, as graduates from our program have been hired by companies like Microsoft, Lincoln Financial Group and Emerson Electric Co.
