About the Cybersecurity Program

In this 8-week online, blended-learning program with live sessions, you will advance your technical expertise in cloud security, network defense, identity management, and incident response. With just a computer and a reliable internet connection, you’ll gain hands-on experience using industry-standard tools and build the applied skills needed to move toward mid-level cybersecurity roles. You’ll complete interactive labs, practical assignments, and a capstone project that simulates a real-world security assessment, guided by experienced Teaching Assistants. The curriculum—developed by CGI in collaboration with Atlantic Canadian employers—ensures each module reflects current industry practices and workforce needs. Participants will also connect with mentors and industry professionals through virtual panels and networking sessions, strengthening their technical confidence and understanding of the regional cybersecurity landscape. This program is ideal for motivated learners who enjoy applied problem-solving, have prior foundational experience, and can dedicate 12+ hours per week to study.
