​Why Cybersecurity for Executives?

​No other professional development experience delivers like the USF Cybersecurity for Executives Certificate Program. You’re broken away from the daily routine and immersed in real-life challenges, expert thought leadership, strategy sessions, innovation frameworks, and customer experience cultures.

The USF Cybersecurity for Executives Certificate Program is designed to provide a cybersecurity ‘survival guide’ for non-technical senior executives in the private, public and non-profit sectors. Our program prepares you for a cyber attack, arms you with the tools to overcome it, and sets you up with strategies to prevent future attacks.

​​Here are some key takeaways from the USF Cybersecurity for Executives Certificate Program: 
​​
  • ROI – Understand how to measure cyber risk and assess the cost and benefits of various cyber investments.
  • Insurance – Breakdown the exclusions of Cyber Insurance and the steps to prepare for an insurance audit.
