Defend against cyber threats

Cybersecurity is essential to protecting organizations, networks, applications and users from a world of online threats. As threats grow and evolve, so too does the need of organizations to protect their online infrastructure.

NAIT's Cybersecurity programs will arm you with knowledge and strategies to protect organizations from these evolving and complex cyber threats.

Many career opportunities exist within the cybersecurity field.

Demand for cyber talent in Canada is increasing by 7 percent annually, with organizations needing to fill some 8,000 roles over the next few years.
