Abstract: Technical approaches to cybersecurity are well-established in higher education with the need for computing professionals to better understand security threats being an important element in the modern computing discipline. The complexities of systems and their integration both along intra and inter networking environments require a better understanding of how to protect such systems from outside attacks. Many of these programs are developed within Computer Science curriculum with few specifically designed with Information Technology in mind. Highly trained technical individuals with competence in the field of computer security are an integral part to most organization’s needs and the focus of these programs has been on the technical side and often leans towards the more theoretical computing disciplines, with integral components of cryptography and the science and math behind it. This paper will delve into developing a graduate Cybersecurity Engineering program that will balance the need for in-depth technical skills with that of Information Technology specialists whose focus is more on system integration than system development.
