As cyber attacks threaten the security, prosperity and privacy of the United States and its citizens, the University of San Diego launched its Center for Cyber Security Engineering and Technology (CCSET) to address these challenges through education and training. A collaboration between USD's Shiley-Marcos School of Engineering and Professional and Continuing Education, the CCSET comprises one of the most rigorous and immersive cybersecurity educational experiences in the nation for working professionals.
Building secure systems
USD's cybersecurity education offerings help fill a critical national need for professionals properly trained in how to engineer and manage secure systems. Cybersecurity is a science and an engineering discipline — part of the solution is technical, but it is also an educational issue. USD approaches it this way so that graduates will understand not just the how, but the why behind actions that need to be taken, creating ethical leaders who are armed with the ability to build better and more secure systems.
