As computers, the internet, and networks evolve, communication and data systems have become increasingly complex, operating with higher speeds and larger traffic volumes. That complexity provides vulnerabilities that can range from simple annoyances to significant liabilities and losses costing millions of dollars in damage or lost revenue. In the face of prevalent and ever-changing data breaches and security risks, we urgently need professionals who are trained to prevent, detect, and mitigate these types of cyberattacks. Champlain's Computer Networking & Cybersecurity program provides the cutting-edge skills required to maintain the security of our internet and digital lives. Our computer labs and virtual infrastructure give you experience dealing with situations involving sensitive data for individual users and government agencies. You'll scan networks for vulnerabilities and learn how to best secure information shared through integrated networks, web servers, and databases. As you come to understand firsthand how cyberattacks are staged against network infrastructure, you'll practice handling and reducing their effects as well as developing and integrating security measures to prevent and defend against future attacks.
