Bachelor of Cybersecurity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ransomware, malware, phishing, distributed denial of service (DDOS), spyware, simjacking, and cyberwarfare. Internet-based attacks on our society are in the news just about every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cybersecurity is about defending against these threats. The field has steadily grown in breadth, depth and societal importance and is now recognized as a stand-alone subject alongside Computer Science and Computer Engineering. Carleton\u2019s new Bachelor of Cybersecurity (BCyber) is unique in Canada. It targets the computer science side of cybersecurity to help you understand the broad range of current and anticipated future threats and risks, as well as solutions to solve them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
