TSYS School Cybersecurity Programs Recognized by Newsweek Magazine

Director of the TSYS Center for Cybersecurity, Patrick Aiken, recently informed the CSU community that the TSYS School's academic programs in cybersecurity have been recognized by Newsweek as being among the best in the country for 2023. "Congratulations to all the amazing faculty who teach and mentor in the cybersecurity programs we offer at CSU. I have some caring and talented colleagues . . . [and] students who put their trust in us to guide them along the path to their tomorrows. It is an incredibly rewarding responsibility," Aiken stated.  
     As indicated in the Newsweek article, TSYS School students also have access to a state-of-the-art cyber range, which allows students to practice defend against over 50,000 versions of malware on an exact replica of a company's network. The range can also simulate cyber incursions spanning simple web defacements to full-blown ransomware attacks. The Newsweek article describes the career path of Fernando Cabello, a retired U.S. Army veteran who completed the program and now works full time at Global Payments. Most students have at least one job offer before they finish the program. As Newsweek points out, students frequently learn from and network with infosec and cyber professionals representing regional and national Fortune 500 and 1000 companies like Aflac, Amazon, Global Payments, Synovus, TSYS, and Voya Financial, all of which actively recruit from the program for internships, co-ops and post-graduate jobs. "This [i]s a pretty cool thing . . . Thanks to Newsweek for recognizing the excellence in education we provide for our cybersecurity students here at CSU," Aiken added.
