Cyber Operations is a major related to cyber security. Cyber operations entails everything related to cyberspace. This includes both technical aspects and non-technical aspects such as human factors and ethical practices. Skills used in cyber operations include hacking, exploiting vulnerabilities, defense, mitigating risk and recovery of data. Cybersecurity is also focused on mitigating risk and data recovery plans.
Cybercrime degree prepares student to work in law enforcement where they can investigate cyber related crimes and understand the technology used to accomplish this. The technical skills gained from this degree include digital forensics, computer networking and programming languages like python and C+. These skills are comparable to the skills needed in cybersecurity.
Computer Science degree prepares students to work in a field of computer technology where they will be responsible for administering networks, databases, servers, and switches. With this responsibility, it will require working with cybersecurity teams to ensure that every equipment and data within the network is protected and receiving periodic updates. They will also ensure processes are in place to prevent cyber attacks from insider threats and outside entities and also ensure in the event if an attack data able to be recovered.
Civil engineering is a degree that prepares student for careers planning, designing and maintain infrastructure within society. These infrastructures include the highways, tunnels, bridges, dams, airports, and harbors. Although civil engineering may not seem obviously related to cyber security, many of these systems are now being connected or managed through online networks which make them vulnerable to cyberattacks which can devastate the society that depends on these infrastructures working properly. Civil engineers can design systems that include a fail-safe in the event that a cyber attack occurs, the damage will be minimized.
