What is Cybersecurity?

Cybersecurity Major Snippets

Cybersecurity is a computing-based discipline involving technology, people, information, and processes to protect computing systems from adversaries. It involves the creation, operation, analysis, and testing of secure computing systems (see ACM Documentation​). It is an interdisciplinary course of study, including aspects of law, policy, human factors, ethics, and risk management in the context of adversaries. BYU's Cybersecurity program is recognized as a National Center of Academic Excellence in Cyber Defense by the NSA/DHS.
