Certificate
The Outlook
Information security has become a global concern. The increasing reliance on automated systems, the ubiquity of the internet and the lack of security mechanisms in current network infrastructures places personal and organizational information at risk. The need for employees trained in this field is expected to continue to grow. FLCC’s Information Security certificate program is designed to provide you with the opportunity to gain marketable skills after one year of study, as it includes the curriculum necessary to obtain generic (non-vendor specific) certification in information security. Graduates certified in Security+ will be in high demand to ensure the security of systems and data. Students may also choose to progress to FLCC's A.A.S. Information Technology program.
