Cybersecurity

Protect the World from Cybercrime

In a world where many components of our lives are entirely online, cybersecurity is a critical function in nearly every industry. As the global digital footprint continues expanding, so does the dark underweb of cybercrime. In the past year, cyberattacks and data breaches increased by a whopping 15.1%.

3.5 million cybersecurity positions worldwide

As cybercrime increases, so does the need for more cybersecurity and information security professionals. Cybersecurity Ventures predicts that there are currently 3.5 million cybersecurity positions worldwide, a 350% growth from the 1 million positions predicted back in 2014 . 

In Spring Arbor University’s Cybersecurity program, our students become equipped with the knowledge and certifications needed to be critical thinkers and leaders in the cybersecurity industry, all within a Christian worldview. Our cybersecurity students have the opportunity to graduate with five industry certifications, giving them a distinct competitive edge right out of college!

100% of SAU cybersecurity students obtained certifications

We are proud to share that as of October 2023, all of our cybersecurity students have obtained their PC Pro and Security Pro certifications, compared to an average Michigan pass rate of 69% (PC Pro) and 32% (Security Pro), and 58% (PC Pro) and 47% (Security Pro) across the US.

After graduation students will be able to:

• detect vulnerabilities
• reduce cyber threats
• secure networks and servers
• analyze software tools and techniques to use to defend and respond against cybersecurity attacks.
