Course Overview

The Cyber Security graduate certificate program at George Brown College is designed to meet the high demand for cybersecurity professionals and related IT security professionals across multiple sectors – including consulting services, finance, and health care.

Students begin with learning the theory and practical skills required to become a cybersecurity professional, including the differences and similarities between cybersecurity and hacking. A holistic approach is used, with students learning about the primary attack surfaces (physical, social, electronic). Students will learn about methods for compromising the attack surfaces, and how to mitigate potential attacks.

In the third semester, students will learn advanced techniques in ethical hacking incident response. A capstone group project will provide students with an opportunity to showcase their skills and talents for potential employers. These skills include:

  • Digital forensics and incident response management
  • Ethical hacking and analyzing malware
  • Delivering security training
  • Applying cryptography

In addition to traditional technical skills, the cybersecurity professionals of today require many non-technical skills and talents, such as:
