Cybersecurity Risk and Auditing digital badge.

There is a growing need for cyber security risk assessment throughout public and private sector organizations. The Cybersecurity Risk and Auditing Microcredential builds and validates focused skills on cybersecurity risk and auditing. It is especially suited for transitioning employees who are looking to work in cybersecurity.

You will complete three graduate courses to earn the microcredential. At the conclusion of the microcredential, you will be ready for the Certified Information Security Auditor exam offered by ISACA.

Learners must complete three required courses, which we recommend taking in the following order:

  1. BCYB 644: Introduction to Information and Cyber Security (3 credits) 
  2. BCYB 640: Information Security Risk Assessment (3 credits) 
  3. BCYB 652: Strategic Management in Cyber Security (3 credits)  

Visit the Graduate Bulletin for course descriptions and the Schedule of Classes for upcoming offerings.

These courses can be applied to the Certificate of Graduate Study in Information Security and the Master of Science Digital Forensics and Cybersecurity.
