Cyber Threat Analytics and Prevention Graduate Certificate

Credly badge that says "Penn State Great Valley Cyber Threat Analytics & Prevention Graduate Certificate"

As technology becomes more advanced and readily available, there is an increased demand for trained cyber security professionals.

Our Cyber Threat Analytics and Prevention graduate certificate prepares you to understand diverse and global cyberattacks, cyber laws and regulations, vulnerabilities, threats, and surveillance systems, while gaining certain fundamental skills to plan, prevent, protect, detect, analyze, respond, mitigate, and recover from threats and attacks in a sophisticated and large-scale basis.

Certificate earners are awarded a digital badge for each certificate they complete. Badges can be digitally displayed anywhere to recognize attaining a new level of knowledge.

Courses are offered in convenient, seven-week sessions, which are available in several delivery modes: in-person, hybrid, or online. They may be taken as a stand-alone certificate, as an initial step toward, or concurrently with our Master of Science in Information Science or Master of Software Engineering.

Learning Goals

Upon completion of the program, you’ll be able to collect and analyze data to uncover, detect, and evaluate suspicious network activities and cyberattacks.

Admission Requirements

The successful applicant is generally expected to have a minimum combined junior/senior grade-point average of 3.0 (B) on a 4.0 scale.
