“The MSIT degree helped validate my skills and bring them together into a professional credential. I was also able to delve
deeper into research about current cybersecurity threats that I might not have been exposed to in my day-to-day work. My
courses also gave me a ‘situational awareness’ about what to look out for and threats to pursue.”
