Cyber Intelligence & Security NETWORKING EVENTS 8 THE YEAR .
In the immediate aftermath of the 9/11 attacks, Embry-Riddle Prescott tookon a leadership role in creating an academic program that focuses on trainingindividuals who would become experts in Security & Intelligence domesticallyand abroad. That initiative has resulted in the development and implementationof highly successful bachelor’s and master’s degree programs in Security andSCHOLARSHIPS ANDA S S I S TA N T S H I P SScholarships and assistantships arecompetitive. However, many graduatestudents are able to fund a portion oftheir education through a combination ofa scholarship, an assistantship, and workstudy.

The MSCIS program has been developed in consultation with our industry advisory board and is cuttingedge and industry-oriented. As a member of National CyberWatch Center and CyberWatch West, we ensure the quality and content ofour curriculum remains current and follows best practices for rigor and assessment. The MSCIS students are given high-tech, hands-onopportunities to engage with latest technological advances and develop their knowledge and skillset. Example latest technological areasinclude: Penetration testing and ethical hacking; malware and threat intelligence analysis; digital forensics; cyber data science; Internetof Things (IoT) and Cyber-Physical System (CPS) security; aviation and connected vehicle cyber security. Graduates of the MSCISprogram will have core technical background and program management skills to advance their careers and become leaders in cyberintelligence and security.CertificationsThe MSCIS prepares its students for cyber certifications sought after by the industry and government. Such as:/// CEH (Certified Ethical Hacker)/// CISSP (Certified Information Systems Security Professional)/// OSCP (Offensive Security Certified Professional)In addition, MSCIS students are provided free access to industry certification training materials and exams,such as Juniper Networks certifications.prescott.erau.edu/cyber4E M B R Y-R I D D L E A E R O N A U T I C A L U N I V E R S I T Y A R I Z O N A C A M P U S P R E S C O T T .

Companies in financial industry and hightechnology are being joined by retail, manufacturing, utilitiesand other critical infrastructure sectors in their hiring of cyberintelligence and security type master’s graduates.The U.S. government and the U.S. Department of Defensecontinues to invest heavily in growing the cybersecurityworkforce. The National Initiative for Cybersecurity Careersand Studies, funded by the Department of HomelandSecurity has developed a workforce framework to assiststudents, workers, higher educational institutions andbusinesses in professionalizing the field.Currently the shortfall for students with a master’s degree inthis field exceeds 2,000 annually. This is almost 100% morethan the current nationwide production. The Bureau of LaborStatistics indicates this shortfall will widen in the comingdecade. In the Phoenix Metro Area alone there is currentlya need of over 500 master’s level cyber intelligence andsecurity professionals in the areas of analysis, operations,and investigations. Nearby California has over 1,500 openingssuitable for graduates from the MSCIS program.OutcomesAll of our Bachelor of Science in Cyber Intelligence and Securityhave been employed in leading companies or governmentagencies within months of graduation. We are optimistic thatsuccessful graduates of the master’s program will experiencethe same level of success and can anticipate a starting annualsalary of up to 100,000.Meet the Department ChairDr. Krishna SampigethayaChair, Department Cyber Intelligence and SecurityPh.D. in Electronic Engineering from University of WashingtonDr. Sampigethaya has over a decade of industry cyber security R&D experience, contributingpioneering award-winning work in aviation cyber security research.
