MS in Digital Forensics and Cybersecurity

Launch your career as an information technology security analyst, cyber defense manager, or forensic examiner in the private or public sector. UAlbany’s master’s in digital forensics and cybersecurity will teach you how to rapidly detect and deter malicious network intruders and use special forensics tools to gather and analyze digital evidence.

Virtually every enterprise in operation today relies on computer systems and digital networks to stay in business. This means that millions of trained cybersecurity and digital forensics experts are needed to set up and maintain protected information systems across all industries and in global corporations, small companies, nonprofit organizations, and federal, state, and local government offices. Because national security depends on corporations and governments preventing criminal access to large-scale industrial and critical infrastructure systems, graduates of this program enjoy many employment opportunities in public utility companies, nuclear power plants, water distribution departments, and communication networks.
