About the program

When a data network or computer system is exposed or exploited, the result can be catastrophic to both business and industry. That's why information security has grown into its own field - one that provides critical protection of information assets from unauthorized disclosure or modification, and accidental or intentional loss of data.

Courses in this curriculum include risk management and compliance; security architecture and controls; business continuity and operations; and network and application security. At Franklin University, students will learn about the typical development mistakes that lead to application-level security issues, including CSRF, XSS, cryptography, CAPTCHA, configuration errors, authentication, and authorization, as well as how to defend against them.

This program also teaches design and implementation of highavailability systems through storage redundancy, load balancing, virtualization clusters, and disaster recovery systems. Students will have the opportunity to learn how security requirements and activities, such as risk identification, threat modeling, security testing, and monitoring, fit into the overall systems development lifecycle (SDLC).
