The Program Cybersecurity professionals are in high demand throughout industry and government sectors. The Network and Computer Security (NCS) program provides graduates with a targeted understanding of information security principles, data communications networks, and computing systems. Core courses provide a firm background in these fundamentals, while advanced electives provide hands-on experience with real systems and software. The Network and Computer Security program gives students a thorough understanding of the technologies and strategies used to secure modern network and computing infrastructures. Students can expect a rigorous curriculum that provides a firm basis for success in the emerging and rapidly growing field of cybersecurity and information assurance. Core courses focus on information security principles, data communications networks, and computer system security, while a wide range of electives enables a customized program to be developed.

What You’ll Study
Our Campus
The Network and Computer Security program faculty include both cybersecurity researchers and IT professionals. The research faculty offer strong foundational knowledge, while the practitioners offer students a hands-on view to the real world of network/system administration and IT systems security. We believe both are essential to the full development of our graduates.

Located in Utica, NY, on hundreds of wooded and landscaped acres, SUNY Poly’s campus is a beautiful living and learning environment. Students live in our modern, spacious residential complexes, including the new Hilltop Hall, SUNY’s first zero-net carbon residence hall, and enjoy an expanding array of student-focused facilities that include our state-of-the-art Center for Global Advanced Manufacturing, Student Center, and Wildcat Field House. Life on campus is enriched by a wide variety of events and activities, including the Wildcats’ championship-winning intercollegiate athletics program, our Wildcat Esports team, and a weekly agenda of intramurals, concerts, comedians, and more. Students can join one of the dozens of clubs and organizations or start one with a group of friends who share an interest.
Another program administered by the department is the MS in Network and Computer Security.
Career Opportunities
Well-prepared cybersecurity professionals are of critical importance to the U.S. as we face increased threats from hackers worldwide. Thus cybersecurity professionals are in high demand throughout industry and government sectors. Diverse opportunities exist in companies of all sizes, in all geographic regions, and in all industries. Growth areas for employment include incident response, penetration testing, and cybersecurity research. Students are introduced to industry mentors as part of their senior capstone experiences, and have the opportunity to engage in solving real-world cybersecurity problems. A recent search found 1 in 5 jobs listed on the technical job search dice.com matches the keyword “security.” The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports, “Information security analysts plan and carry out security measures to protect an organization’s computer networks and systems. Their responsibilities are continually expanding as the number of cyberattacks increases.” The demand for these cybersecurity professionals with a bachelor’s degree is projected to grow by 35% over the 2021-2031 period. The 2022 report states that the median pay for information security analysts was $102K.
Labs Students in the NCS program will work in the Newman Cyber Lab, equipped with Linux and Windows workstations and a variety of Cisco networking and telephony gear in individual stations that simulate a branch office. The handson approach to intermediate and advanced coursework helps prepare students for industry certification exams in computing, security, and networking.
