School of Computer Science Announces New Master of Cybersecurity and Threat Intelligence [MCTI] Program

With the number of global cyber-attacks on the rise, the industry demand for cybersecurity professionals has never been higher. According to Christopher D. Young, CEO of McAfee, “We’re approaching a cyber security talent shortage of 2 million people worldwide in the next 3 to 5 years. Every cybersecurity provider can contribute, and when we’re joined by respected education institutions like the University of Guelph, our combined effort makes the world safer.”

The Master of Cybersecurity and Threat Intelligence (MCTI) is a one-year (12 month), course-based graduate program that offers professionals the potential for a unique and exciting career in cybersecurity, cyber threat intelligence and digital forensics within the Canadian or global landscape.

The MCTI program has been made possible through in-kind contributions from industry partners McAfee Canada, Cisco Systems, Information Systems Architects (ISA), eSentire, IBM, Kaspersky Lab, BlackBerry, the Cooperators and the RCMP.
