What is a Master in IT Security? The coursework for this program focuses on IT systems, networks, security protocols, forensics and risk analysis. Students generally gain a better understanding of the security protocols and protections that are widely used today by learning about cryptography, encryption standards and biometrics. Many degree programs also delve into legal aspects of cyber security, including regulations and compliance. Generally, the ultimate goal of this program is to teach graduates to assess and mitigate cyber security risks.

A Master in IT Security can help information security professionals keep current with modern security threats and means of addressing those threats. Graduates may also enjoy access to extensive employment opportunities, since cyber crime poses a growing source of concern for most modern organizations.

The expenses associated with earning this degree, which may include tuition and living costs, depend on the institution, the geographic area and the program length. As a result, it is advisable for students to directly contact any institutions that they are considering attending and ask a representative for a cost estimate. 

People who hold a Master in IT Security may pursue jobs with government agencies, private companies and even non-profit organizations. These professionals may work as information security managers, cyber forensics investigators or network security advisors. Graduates may also pursue employment as cyber security or risk analysis consultants. Professionals who prefer academic careers may become researchers or pursue more advanced degrees within related fields.
