Founder of New York University (NYU) Tandon School of Engineering’s cybersecurity program and Associate Dean for Online Learning Professor Nasir Memon has been in the thick of cybersecurity education for the last 20 years. He sees some compelling related challenges in executive-level cybersecurity education.
“First, as the CISO function is relatively nascent, we saw a demand from experienced executives for a degree that brings technology skills together with exposure to the intricate policies and regulations that exist today,” says Memon. “The security world is only getting more complex and it is imperative for today’s executives to be well-versed not only in technology, but in the broader-based risks that can impact their businesses.”
