You will also learn how to improve the security of major operating systems such as Windows, Unix, and Linux.

Professionals with a computer security degree are in high demand as computer security is becoming increasingly difficult to ensure. As a trained computer security expert, you may be responsible for securing the network of a major corporation, or may become directly involved in developing computer security products. In addition to preventing security breaches, you may also be responsible for handling the response when a security breach does occur.
