Master of Applied Cybersecurity

University of New Brunswick

Training and education in cybersecurity falls far short of current needs, and what will be required in the future. Worldwide, there are 3.5 million unfilled cybersecurity positions. Such skills shortage leaves the public, private sectors, and governments vulnerable. Moreover, the global cost of cyber-attacks is believed to grow to $10.5 trillion by 2025. With these figures in mind, we need to develop talent in cybersecurity – and fast. The Canadian Institute for Cybersecurity (CIC) at the University of New Brunswick is using 20 plus years of cyber- security innovation and talent development to provide a one-year Master of Applied Cybersecurity (MACSec).
