Introduction

The Security Analyst specialization focuses on testing methods and techniques to effectively identify and mitigate risks to the security of a company’s infrastructure while providing application and network-based security vulnerability assessments, pen testing, securing wireless networks including authentication, authorization, and encryption in accordance with industry-accepted methods and protocols. By specializing as a Security Analyst, you will be trained in various domains, through specialized online ethical hacking and penetration testing courses. Program Summary Level of study: Graduate Number of courses: 12 (36 Credit Hours) Duration: 2 Years – 12-week terms (4 per year) Term begins on: October 4th, 2021 Mode of study: Online (Flexible with Hands-On Experience) Course Deliverance ECCU coursework is delivered through a 100% online degree program, providing the flexibility of time management whereby students can attend to coursework at any time of day/night or weekends (24×7). There is a structure to the week and term whereby attendance and submissions must meet predefined deadlines each week and weekly attendance and participation are mandatory. Synchronous scheduled class times are not utilized but adherence to discussion and homework weekly posting deadlines are. The course utilizes traditional university terms (semesters of 12 weeks) and is structured accordingly. So the course delivery sits in a flexible middle ground between the structure of set class times and attendance and the open-ended system of self-paced independent study courses. Each course is instructor-led by credentialed professors with industry experience with a maximum enrolment of 30 students. Guided discussion, interaction/engagement, assistance/support, and grading/feedback will be done with your professor weekly as the course proceeds. Courses typically consist of a mixture of weekly threaded discussions, reading materials, iLabs (ECCU’s online virtual platform to practice), presentation support (PowerPoint and/or video), quizzes/exams and/or research projects/papers.
