Computer Science Cyber Defense, OSA

COSC.CYBR.OSA

The Computer Science Cyber Defense Occupational Skill Award (OSA) will prepare students for information security analysts' careers that are heavily involved in the maintenance of an organization's IT cyber defense recovery plan including preventive measures such as regularly copying and transferring data to an offsite location. It also involves plans to restore proper IT functioning after a disaster. Analysts continually test the steps in their recovery plans. Information security analysts must stay up to date on IT security and on the latest methods attackers are using to infiltrate computer systems. Analysts need to research new security technology to decide what will most effectively protect their organization. This award also provides a foundation for completion of the Cyber Security Certificate.
