Cybersecurity
Myles Peterson, Program Coordinator
Myles has always been interested in computers. He started his journey with MS-DOS on an intel 286 computer in grade school that he ended up breaking because he was always trying to make it run faster. He has learned that breaking something and then fixing it will encourage you to learn much more and understand why things work the way they do.
He has brought this concept into the classroom, starting with teaching Firewall and networking courses over ten years ago.
These concepts translate well to the Cybersecurity field. Hackers are always trying to keep one step ahead of the network defenders by pushing software to the limits of breaking to cause unintended results that allow them to penetrate networks.
Our hands-on cybersecurity courses will teach you the latest tools and technologies from this fast-paced and quickly changing field and allow students to get the practical experience they need in the workplace.

Testimonials
This program has helped me develop both the skills and confidence needed to analyze complex business problems and implement solutions. The professors guided us through practical assignments and provided valuable examples. I highly recommend the Business Analytics post-graduate program from Cambrian College for anyone who is looking to gain knowledge and advance their careers. The professionalism, knowledge, superior training tools, and genuine interest in students – succeed in setting learning “above the competition. “I have learned several approaches in learning various aspects of problem-solving while keeping up with the new trends and practical approaches. Furthermore, the program goes beyond the learning curve and provides more in-depth knowledge of creating dashboards, reports, presentation to communicate your valuable feedback to the audience.

“This program exceeded my expectations. It is extremely hands-on and focused on problem-solving. I use and develop analytical skills in almost all courses, which is 100% aligned with my management consulting background. I am learning many useful tools such as Python, SQL, R, Power Query, and Power BI in a limited timeframe. Furthermore, the program goes beyond tools and teaches how to properly raise hypotheses and present analyses and findings through written reports, dashboards, and oral presentations.”

“I found the Crime Analytics program very interesting and enjoyable, not only with the information being taught but by whom it was presented by. The faculty is very student success focused, which encourages all students to want to do well. If you put in effort, you will be rewarded. This program is also heavily oriented on applied learning, which allowed me to do more problem-solving and have more of an understanding of what will be expected of me in the workforce.”

Testimonial
“Before taking this course, I thought I already knew the basics of IT Business Analysis and felt pretty confident in my ability to implement a composting program at work. I actually learned a lot of very valuable and essential information and still use the course manual and training sheets. The presenters and trainers were incredibly experienced and knowledgeable in the field of composting, and the chance to meet and network with other individuals in the same position was a huge advantage.”
