Overview

Long gone are the days when the use of technology alone was enough to protect organizations against data breaches and cyber threats. Today, the most effective defense revolves around people: strategic thinkers who can effectively bridge gaps between security policies, information technologies, and human behaviors.

The Program

Our Cybersecurity Risk Management program from Georgetown University takes an interdisciplinary approach to cybersecurity, examining the field through the lenses of ethics, communications, management, law, security, and computer science. In the classroom, you’ll engage with industry experts, who will introduce you to the latest best practices within the cybersecurity landscape. You’ll also gain hands-on experience developing and executing integrated strategies, policies, and safeguards to manage risks across an organization.

Drawing from frameworks established by the National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education (NICE) and National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), our curriculum emphasizes the competencies and functions needed to address today’s increasingly complex cyber threats. You’ll study different approaches to cybersecurity governance and understand how to identify, mitigate, and manage risks across the enterprise. This includes everything from systems oversight and policy enforcement to infrastructure support, threat detection, employee awareness campaigns, and response and recovery protocol.
