Cyber Systems
The Cyber Security Operations (CSO) program at the University of Nebraska at Kearney trains students to become CSO experts in order to protect individual rights, privacy, data, and last but not least national security. The Cyber Security Operations field is the study of "the set of controls and processes both technical and policy intended to protect and defend information and information systems by ensuring their confidentiality, integrity, and availability, and by providing for authentication and non-repudiation."
The courses are offered through the Computer Science Major, with an Information Networking & Telecommunication minor, and uses courses from the Information Technology program. Current students have the option to change to the CSO program.
“I really enjoyed having smaller class sizes, as I was not just a number in an ocean of students. I felt the professors really cared about my education and took time to meet one-on-one for any help I needed. The best education I received at UNK was learning ‘how to learn.’ I wasn't handed answers to my many questions. Instead, my professors encouraged me to dig deeper and look closer at the problem at hand to find the solution. This was by far the greatest asset going into my career as a CS security professional.”
