York Technical College's Network Security Certificate can give you an edge in today's IT marketplace. Competent security is becoming more critical than ever because networks  have become the backbone of many corporations, and the network in this competitive age must be protected at all costs. 

The 2004-05 Occupational Outlook Handbook published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, notes that "The emergence of “cyber-security” as a key issue facing most organizations should lead to strong growth for computer managers. Firms will increasingly hire cyber-security experts to fill key leadership roles in their information technology departments, because the integrity of their computing environment is of the utmost concern. As a result, there will be a high demand for managers proficient in computer security issues."

This upper level certificate will prepare students to calculate the security needs of  computer networks and to find solutions that safeguard computers with "cybersecurity"  devices and procedures, such as cryptography. Students are required to have completed  the Network Administration Certificate or the Associate in Computer Technology degree in order to enroll in the certificate program.
