Information Security Certificate

Blue Ridge Community and Technical College delivers the Information Security Certificate program through courses that are designed to introduce students to programming, security basics, network monitoring, risk assessment, and ethical hacking. These courses, in conjunction with other foundational courses, give students the technical aptitude for a career in information security.

Students will be introduced to security and risk assessment via courses already offered and cataloged by the college in the beginning of their sequence of training.

The programming languages, monitoring, and ethical hacking courses taken after the completion of foundational courses will provide students with the skills and knowledge to obtain industry certifications such as the CompTIA Security+ and the Certified Ethical Hacker professional certifications.
