Cybersecurity talent is in high demand across Alberta and Canada. This diploma prepares you for entry-level analyst roles that protect organizations from cyber threats. You’ll start with core IT skills—networking, systems, cloud fundamentals, scripting, and security basics. In Year 2, you’ll dive into cybersecurity with hands-on learning in: threat detection and response, vulnerability assessment and penetration testing, identity and access management, governance, risk, and compliance (GRC), and security operations. Learning is practical and job-focused, with labs, real tools, and scenarios that mirror current industry practice. You’ll also have the option to complete work-integrated learning through a capstone project. Our academic partnerships with Microsoft, Cisco, ServiceNow, Palo Alto Networks, and Fortinet ensure curriculum quality and provide pathways to industry certifications that employers value.
