Objective

Graduates of this program will become specialists in cybersecurity. Currently, these types of individuals are in high-demand as most organizations involved in these areas of activity are forced to hire individuals with their own-segmented specializations. This program will allow graduates to possess a comprehensive knowledge and skill-set of all implicated technologies and cybersecurity concepts.

Description

The role of cybersecurity technicians is primarily to ensure the protection of technological infrastructures through the use of tools to detect intrusions and security incidents and to implement risk mitigation or threat eradication measures. Cybersecurity technicians also verify the compliance of configurations with cybersecurity policies and participate in risk assessment.

Cybersecurity technicians are also responsible for promoting cybersecurity within the organization by applying the best practices themselves. These technicians are seen as references and critical resource people, and as such, they must regularly keep themselves informed of new threats and ways to counter new attacks in order to ensure the cyber resilience of the infrastructure they are protecting.

Cybersecurity technicians are also called upon to advise network administrators on the management of access and digital identities on the network, as well as the management and configuration of equipment in order to ensure a rapid return to normal in the event of a cyber attack.
