The threat of cybercrime is growing, and the demand for skilled cyber security professionals has never been higher. Nearly every industry today needs cybersecurity specialists to prevent, detect, and defend against cyber-attacks. It’s time to take charge of today’s digitally driven world.

This is an incredible industry to pursue as a career.
At CIAT, we go beyond traditional education by requiring students to earn three industry certifications from leading technology organizations such as CompTIA, Microsoft, Cisco, Amazon, and EC Council. Our comprehensive support program is designed to give you a competitive edge in the job market. These certifications are more than just credentials – they're your passport to career advancement. By obtaining sought-after technical certifications, you'll boost your earning potential, stand out to employers, and validate your practical skills. At CIAT, we do everything we can to help you get certified, which includes complimentary workshops, bootcamps, practice exam software, tutoring, and unlimited certification exam attempts for all students.
Our Cybersecurity Specialization can be earned as a part of our Bachelor’s Degree in Information Technology and Networking. To ensure the best completion outcomes, CIAT delivers this degree using a 2 + 2 approach, facilitating students to earn an Associate of Applied Science in Computer Information Systems (or equivalent transferable Associate's level degree) prior to taking upper-division courses.
