Protecting sensitive data and infrastructure against attacks
Cybersecurity is crucial for protecting the computer systems and networks that society relies on. A single security breach can disrupt business and government operations or expose sensitive personal information. With the increasing need for cybersecurity expertise, organizations are striving to maintain secure data and mitigate risks.
Recognized as a National Center of Academic Excellence in Cybersecurity, Oregon State’s computer science bachelor's degree with a transcript-visible cybersecurity option enables students to understand common threats to system security, assess security requirements, implement secure solutions to counter threats, and evaluate, identify, and address system weaknesses.
