In a world where digital threats are on the rise, the need for solid knowledge in cybersecurity and risk management is greater than ever. Noroff University College addresses this with the launch of the one-year program Assurance in Cybersecurity Management.
- When we developed this program, we asked ourselves a fundamental question: If you only had one year to learn the most important aspects of cybersecurity management, what would you focus on? The answer to this question became the foundation for the program’s content, says Dr. Piet Delport, Programme Leader for Assurance in Cybersecurity Management.
The one-year study program in Assurance in Cybersecurity Management is available through online studies and Online PLUS.
The program is specifically designed to bridge the gap between IT and business, providing students with a solid understanding of digital assurance, risk management, and security management.
A Combination of Technical Knowledge and Business Insight
- It's not enough to understand technology alone. To succeed in cybersecurity, you also need insight into how security impacts business processes and decision-making. This program provides students with both, says Delport.
The study program covers a range of key topics, including:
-
Principles of IT systems and infrastructures
-
Identification, assessment, and management of risk
-
Effective security management
-
Auditing organizations
-
Accounting principles, business processes, and regulatory compliance
A Path to a Bachelor's Degree
The program gives students the opportunity to build a solid foundation in cybersecurity management. Those who wish to delve deeper can continue on to a full bachelor’s degree in Digital Assurance and Security Management.
- This is a unique opportunity for those who want to work towards a leadership role in digital security. We provide them with the foundational tools they need to understand, manage, and prevent cyber threats in a strategic manner, emphasizes Delport.
An Important Step for Future Security
With increasingly strict regulations, growing digital crime, and a rising need for security expertise, it is crucial that both the private and public sectors have access to professionals with up-to-date knowledge in cybersecurity.
- This course is for anyone who wants to stay ahead of the curve and ensure that businesses can operate safely in a digital society, concludes Delport.
