Cyber Defence and Cloud Administration Manitoba Institute of Trades and Technology (MITT)

Program Description

Organizations of various size and structure require teams of cyber and network security experts to protect all manner of business or personal data from daily barrages of cyber attacks. Students in MITT’s CDCA diploma program train for these vital roles, gaining specialized and in-demand knowledge and skills through hands-on learning with industry standard hardware and software so they can: Perform IT network analysis. Identify anomalous activity and potential threats to resources. Design and implement appropriate courses of actions using industry standard computer network defence tools. Perform virtualization and secure integration of cloud services into existing IT infrastructures. CDCA students are concurrently enrolled in the Cisco Networking Academy and completed credits can be used as prerequisites for further Cisco training. The program is a Check Point Secure Academy, a member of the VMWare IT Academic Program, and a CompTIA Associate. An eight-week practicum opportunity, combined with MITT’s Work Skills Series workshops, provide students real-world experience, and a strong foundation in employability and essential skills, to help them transition seamlessly from classroom to career.
