Cybersecurity Certificate

"I am convinced that there are only two types of companies: those that have been hacked and those that will be. And even they are converging into one category: companies that have been hacked and will be hacked again."

As a result of trends such as the above, regulators (and compliance professionals) are also increasingly focused on cybersecurity matters, especially considering the inherent link between cybersecurity events to privacy regulations (i.e., many cybersecurity incidents result in privacy violations). An example of this increased regulatory focus is the recent Cybersecurity "Certification of Compliance" requirement that has been promulgated by the New York State Department of Financial Services, requiring a company to attest to its cybersecurity controls.

The certificate program consists of approximately 20 hours of video content featuring Professor Bob Chersi. Each online video contains presentation materials accompanying the lecture. After viewing the videos, an online certification examination is provided. Professor Chersi is available electronically for guidance and to answer questions. Certification is earned after watching the videos and passing the certification examination. Participants are asked to complete the self-study within three months of registration.
