The Master of Science in Cybersecurity Policy & Governance at Boston College provides students with the skills necessary to manage the critical and emerging cybersecurity issues faced by the private industry and government. Taught by industry leaders and practitioners, students will learn applied and “hands-on” ways to identify, assess, and manage cyber risk, and to develop and implement a proactive, comprehensive cybersecurity strategy to effectively defend, mitigate, and recover from a cyber-attack. The program prepares practitioners to lead and design a business case for investment to senior executives, Boards of Directors, and government officials, and to bridge the communication gap between IT security professionals and key business stakeholders.
