Cybersecurity professionals keep information systems safe from theft, disruption, compromise, and damage. Expertise in the field of cybersecurity has become increasingly crucial as both our personal lives and the business world move further into the sphere of digital dependency. "Businesses are the gatekeepers of sensitive customer information. They also depend on digital networks to conduct their basic business operations every day," says Tammie Cagle, editor at Online MBA Today. "This high level of digital activity and accountability to customers means that cybersecurity is becoming a non-negotiable part of keeping a modern business running smoothly and competently."

The increasing digital dependency in the business world has produced a job boom for network professionals. The Bureau of Labor and Statistics projects that information security analyst jobs will grow at a rate of 18% over the next ten years. This growth will, in turn, create a demand for business managers and leaders with cybersecurity expertise.

An MBA in Cybersecurity is a degree that provides technical knowledge and skills critical for today's business leaders.
