About

A growing number of attacks on computer networks worldwide has increased demand for university graduates with expertise in cyber defense and cybersecurity, areas that barely existed just a decade ago. This call comes as no surprise, as cyber criminals now show increasing new levels of ambition and sophistication – from multimillion-dollar bank heists to overt attempts at disrupting large networks that support production efforts for critical utilities.

SIU has responded to this demand by launching a brand new bachelor’s degree in Cybersecurity Technology this coming fall of 2024. The need for qualified cyber professionals has never been higher, and with your help we will provide future cyber Salukis with access to cutting edge hardware, software, and technology resources, critical components of our hands-on, real world focused curriculum. Your contribution will support the education of the next generation of cybersecurity technology professionals, tasked with defending our nation’s government, businesses, hospitals, and critical infrastructure from cyber criminals. Thank you for your support.

Funds raised provide future Cyber-Salukis with access to cutting edge hardware, software, and technology resources, critical components of our hands-on, real world focused curriculum.
