Get Certified to be a Cyber Defense Analyst

Introducing the RIT Certified three-course Mastery Certificate in Cyber Defense.
First course begins February 6, 2023.

Launch your career in IT and cybersecurity

When the ESL GCI Cybersecurity program transitioned to RIT Certified, we conducted a thorough revision of the curriculum based on feedback from learners. The result? A skills-forward, flexible, and hands-on mastery certificate program which will prepare you for roles in the information technology and cybersecurity industries.

The first step toward your new job is Information Technology Fundamentals

The first course in the Cyber Defense Mastery Certificate is IT Fundamentals. In this course, you will learn Windows and Linux/Unix essentials, plus information systems auditing and compliance skills. All the basics to not only get a job in IT, but to successfully take the CompTIA A+ Core 1 certification exam. The best part of this offering is you will be qualified for a job in information technology after just taking one course!
