BE, Computer Engineering, Gujarat Technological University, '19
PSM, Cyber Defense, Temple University, '22
"I have a bachelor's degree in computer engineering, and I decided to study cybersecurity for my master's because it inspires me to learn something new every day. Working with some of the department's professors and learning about industrial skills throughout the classes and internship was a tremendous experience.”
BA, Business Administration, Temple University, '16
PSM, Cyber Defense, Temple University, '23
"Through the Cyber DIA curriculum, I have gained a solid understanding of the fundamentals of cybersecurity, including risk management, network security, cryptography, and ethical hacking. This degree not only helped me to understand the technical aspects of cybersecurity but has also enabled me to develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills, which are essential in this industry. My Cyber DIA degree equipped me with the necessary skills and knowledge to obtain a cybersecurity engineer position at Lockheed Martin in New York."
BA, Digital Arts, Lycoming College, '20
PSM, Cyber Defense, Temple University, '22
"When I started graduate school, I did not have a technical background at all. I decided to pursue technology because I had my own labs at home from personal interest in information technology. The classes and projects in the CyberDIA PSM were always engaging and kept me growing by enforcing current industry standards and keeping up to date with the latest news… and I had a great adviser and professor who helped me with every step. Now, as a senior SOC analyst I get to practice/use the knowledge I gained in school.”
