Program Description:
Computer Security is a multi-faceted and challenging field. Ensuring the privacy of personal data, preventing unauthorized access to computer systems, ensuring back-up contingency plans in the event of data loss and protecting systems from malicious activity such as viruses and worms are just a few areas you can get involved in.
An individual's personal computer is threatened just as much as large servers and networks operated by organizations and as a consequence, interest in computer security is high.
The Computer Security program is a specialized honours degree offered as a BA or a BSc. Your degree choice will depend upon the courses you are interested in.
