Cyber Security: Make an Impact on Individual, Corporate, and National Security
Americans love their technology, and the internet has transformed our lives. Most of them in good ways, however, it has also increased the number of security threats.
Americans spend nearly 5.5 hours a day on their phones with millennials spending 5.7 hours per day. That number jumps to nearly 7.5 hours a day for teens. Surprisingly, these numbers don’t reflect all screen time.
We are constantly on devices, whether it be desktop, laptop, or mobile. We are plugging in personal information, saving passwords, and trusting the system.
But who makes sure the system is trustworthy?
Who understands the virtual environment?
Your trusty neighborhood cyber security gurus!
Are you interested in becoming the first line of defense against unauthorized access to computers, the protector from hackers and malicious software?
It’s not just individuals at risk. Network security is crucial to business success. Network systems protect and safeguard information as they minimize client information theft, secure shared files, protect against viruses, comply with regulatory requirements, and increase network performance.
Our network security program begins with the basics of computers (internal components, software). Then we move on to computer repair and networking. Security measures are integrated into all aspects of the program.
