Digital Forensics and Cyber Security

Digital forensics is a field of discovery. It allows us to find the hidden information that helps us understand and respond to cyber incidents like identity theft, insider trading, security breaches and terrorism. It is a fast growing billion-dollar market, with high, long-term projected demand for trained professionals. The University at Albany’s Master of Science in Digital Forensics and Cyber Security will help you build the skills and experience necessary to succeed in this ever-evolving and increasingly vital discipline.
