Cybersecurity
Cybersecurity is the practice of protecting internet-connected systems (both hardware and software), networks, and programs from digital attacks. This can be done by building software, developing policies, testing for vulnerabilities or writing or ensuring compliance. One can work inside a company protecting its assets or consulting for many companies or for the government. Cybersecurity offers careers for people with backgrounds in software or any number of liberal arts majors.
