  1. Select four other majors offered by ODU and explain how those majors relate to cybersecurity.<\/strong><\/strong>
    <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    <\/strong><\/p>\n

    According to CyberSeek<\/strong>, there were 122,000 job opportunities for information security analysts in 2018, but only 105,000 people are now working in such jobs, resulting in a 17,000-person yearly skill shortage in the United States. Cybersecurity is a new, fast-growing discipline that aims to solve challenges in the fundamental knowledge of safe information system design, development, implementation, and life-cycle support. Cybersecurity is an interdisciplinary undergraduate major that will equip students for careers in government, business, and research while also laying the groundwork for graduate school success.<\/span><\/p>\n

    <\/span><\/p>\n

    <\/span><\/p>\n

    ODU provides four undergraduate degrees with\u00a0<\/strong>blend courses from many areas into a unified academic experience, in addition to a traditional cybersecurity major. These majors entail extensive coursework in two distinct subjects, all of which must be incorporated into a marketable program. Moreover, the purpose of these majors is to approach cybersecurity in a way that responds to real-world complexity and issues, bringing together academics and students from all backgrounds to confront cybersecurity from their various points of view.<\/span><\/p>\n

    <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

    Cybersecurity (IDS):<\/strong> According to ODU\u2019s School of Cybersecurity (n.d), \u201cthis program prepares graduates with the skills necessary to protect computer systems, networks, and online data from attack and compromise. Throughout the program, students will learn to troubleshoot and to identify potential security lapses through classroom instruction, hands-on computer lab sessions and opportunities to take part in research projects. Courses focus primarily on computer science, computer engineering and engineering management, information technology and decision science, information assurance, wireless networking, criminal justice, philosophy and psychology. Students will learn how to collect forensic evidence in prosecution of cybercrime or maintenance of network security\u201d.<\/span><\/h3>\n
