Overview

Graduate Certificate in Network and Security Architecture

Without the proper protection, our networks are vulnerable to black-hat hackers, identity thieves and spammers. 

There aren't many people who have the skills and education needed to ward off the enemies lurking behind computer screens, ready to thwart firewalls, infiltrate networks and corrupt servers. 

If you’ve been thinking of a career protecting the systems that run our networks and economy, the Network and Security Architecture one-year post-grad co-op program will prepare you for this in-demand field.

  • Learn key aspects of designing, deploying, supporting and securing small, medium and enterprise network and server infrastructures
  • Specialize in advanced networking and security concepts to work in any situation and that meet today’s security challenges
  • Gain the high-level skill set to fill the void of qualified individuals in this field of IT and put you on the fast track to a highly in-demand career
  • Benefit from Fanshawe College’s existing relationships with Cisco, Microsoft, Redhat, VMware and many other vendors with specialized knowledge in everything from firewalls to server infrastructure
