While information and communication opportunities are increasing, security challenges are increasing as well. In 2001, more than 34,000 attacks on Internet computers were reported to the Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT). CERT, a government-funded clearinghouse, predicts the number will double by 2003. In our global marketplace, an attack on one computer has the potential to affect the operations of many interdependent systems. In the wake of September 11, 2001, the U.S. and other nations have become even more concerned about the threat to computer infrastructure and information systems through the potential misuse of computer networks and the Internet. Employees with knowledge of information systems security are now considered to be an important part of many information technology infrastructure teams. Graduates of the Information Systems Security program in the School of Information Technology at ITT Tech will have a credential that can help them pursue career opportunities in a variety of entry-level positions involving information systems security, some of which may include: security professionals as part of software development and information technology infrastructure teams; security technicians working with Internet service providers, application service providers and systems integrators; and security auditors. Rather than teach only the business or strategic planning side of information systems security, ITT Tech's program covers both management and technical aspects of this field. These are the kinds of skills that can be valuable in today's digital marketplace.
