Cyber Law 6th Semester

[Eric]

Cybersecurityspecialists defend systems, networks, information, data, identities, and programs from digital attacks and cyber threats. These cyberattacks seek to access, alter, or destroy sensitive information, extort money from users, or interrupt business operations.

Some common types of cyber threats include phishing, ransomware, malware, social engineering, insider threats, distributed denial-of-service attacks, advanced persistent threats, man-in-the-middle attacks, spear phishing, emotet, SQL Injection, and password attacks.

In 2013, the National Security Agency (NSA) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) designated Ivy Tech Community College a Center of Academic Excellence in Cyber Defense Education (CAE-2Y). We are proud of this recognition and what it means about the quality of education our students receive in the Cybersecurity program. Additionally, based on our designation, Ivy Tech has a Cyber Center, which current students can utilize during their studies with Ivy Tech.

Cybersecurity is a rewarding, in-demand career path, but it may seem intimidating and complex at first. Therefore, Ivy Tech has created two ways for students to try out Cybersecurity with quick non-credit classes that can help you develop a valuable industry skill.

The Ivy+ IT Academy offers accelerated classes designed to teach you a specific skill and kickstart your career in the IT industry. While you're working, continue your education by enrolling in Ivy Tech's for-credit Cybersecurity program to increase your knowledge and qualify for promotions.

The Associate of Applied Science in Cybersecurity / Information Assurance program is officially certified as a CAE-CD by the National Centers of Academic Excellence. This curriculum is recognized by the NSA and meets all standards associated with it. Within this program, you will be prepared to earn certifications such as the A+, NET+, SEC+, Linux+, AWS Cloud Practitioner, and Cisco Cyberops. Students can even sit for up to three of these certifications as part of this associate degree program.

While the Associate of Applied Science is not designed to transfer to a four-year institution as directly as the Associate of Science, credits you earn at Ivy Tech will still transfer into a bachelor's program should you choose to continue your education further. If you are looking to apply and already know that you want to pursue a bachelor's degree after Ivy Tech, we recommend exploring the Associate of Science option.

The Associate of Applied Science in Cybersecurity is offered at locations across the state of Indiana, but Ivy Tech Columbus also offers an accelerated way to earn your degree in partnership with Muscatatuck Urban Training Center, a national Department of Defense military base.

Talk to our transfer advocates for information about continuing your education after completing your associate degree at Ivy Tech. You are also encouraged to contact the university to which you plan to transfer. Note that admission is not guaranteed just by enrolling in the Cybersecurity program. You will need to be admitted to the institution you intend to transfer to.

The Cybersecurity/Information Assurance Technical Certificate (TC) program provides students with fundamental cybersecurity, IT, and networking knowledge. Graduates are awarded CompTIA A+, CompTIA Security+, and CompTIA Network+ certifications.

*Note: Students who are admitted to the Next Level Jobs program to pursue the Cybersecurity/Information Assurance TC are required to pay for and submit to a criminal background check, drug testing, and physical exam.

A recommended path to either of the associate degrees in Cybersecurity/Information Assurance is to complete one or more of the three certificates offered by Ivy Tech while working toward the degree. The certificates are designed to provide gateways toward entry-level cybersecurity careers, so you can begin working quickly. You may then choose to pursue a credential that requires more credits and time in order to learn more and move up in your professional career. You can apply the credits from your certificate to your higher level credential at Ivy Tech to make the most of your time and tuition.

*Note: Students who are admitted to the Next Level Jobs program to pursue the Cybersecurity Incident Analyst CT are required to pay for and submit to a criminal background check, drug testing, and physical exam.

*Note: Students who are admitted to the Next Level Jobs program to pursue the Security Operations Center Specialist CT are required to pay for and submit to a criminal background check, drug testing, and physical exam.

No two days are the same in a cybersecurity role, and for the right person, this can be exciting! As cybersecurity often involves protecting an organization from attacks, these roles can move fast and require you to remain calm. Wondering if this is the right path for you? Careers in cybersecurity often involve:

Prerequisite courses completed at colleges other than Ivy Tech will only be considered for general education selection points if transfer credit has been awarded and courses appear on the Ivy Tech transcript prior to the application deadline.

Ivy Tech is proud to offer our Cybersecurity / Information Assurance program in in-person, online, and hybrid formats. The one exception is the Cyber Academy, which requires students to attend in person and live in provided housing during the 11-month program.

Graduating with a Cybersecurity/Information Assurance degree with an Honors pathway can help you stand out as a high-achieving college student, boost your resume, and help you land an acceptance letter to a top four-year college or university.

Once your application is processed, you will receive a confirmation email at the email address provided on your application. Typically the email will arrive within 1-2 business days of submission, but during peak processing periods (April-June) could take up to 5-10 business days.
