The Cedar Crest Cybersecurity program will provide you with the skills and knowledge you need to enter this exciting and growing field. We’ll provide you with the foundation, support and connections you need to play a vital role in diversifying the industry workforce. 

Additionally, through Cedar Crest’s Harmon Center for Technology, you’ll immerse yourself in programming that positions you to be a woman in, or a supporter of women, working in a historically male-dominated field.
