Introduction
Cybersecurity specialists use their skills and training to prevent cyberattacks on information systems, business networks, and individual network computers. They also use their skills to perform incident response, risk mitigation, and recovery procedures after an event have occurred.
Trident Technical College has been designated as a National Center of Academic Excellence (CAE) in Cyber Defense Education (CDE) through 2024. This designation was awarded by the National Security Agency (NSA) and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) upon meeting their stringent requirements for cybersecurity curriculum and program criteria. Trident Technical College is the first two-year college in South Carolina to achieve this designation. With a focus on local and wide area networks, Trident Technical College’s Network Systems Management department offers an advanced training pathway under a 63-credit-hour training program to prepare students with in-depth knowledge of forensics investigations, network monitoring and security procedures, incident response, network defense, and risk identification and mitigation methods. Furthermore, students are trained on the ethics involved with becoming a cyber analyst.
