Rationale
This concentration prepares you to secure systems, networks, and data against real adversaries. You combine a strong software and cloud foundation with applied cryptography, hardware and network security, blockchain, and the governance, risk, and compliance practices that turn security from an afterthought into an engineering discipline.
