Enhance your skillset to protect confidential information better than ever with a cybersecurity badge. Designed for individuals who want to advance their careers, each credit earned from completing a badge course will be applied towards the MS in Cybersecurity should students enroll in the program at a later date.
Quinnipiac partners with employers who wish to offer continuing education to their employees working in the cybersecurity area. Working professionals can earn a badge after completing a course or series of courses online. The current offering, Applied Healthcare Cyber Risk Management, introduces students to concepts and practices needed to manage HIPAA compliance and security risks while instructing how to organize and facilitate these practices within an enterprise health organization.
Employees can apply this three credit course (CYB 613) toward a future Master of Science in Cybersecurity if they choose. Quinnipiac also can brainstorm with your company to develop courses and/or badges to match your particular area of interest.
This Level III badge requires learners to demonstrate mastery of tactical skills and knowledge that can be applied in professional working environments. Learners must showcase their ability to apply a collection of competencies or industry standards in true-to-life environments.
To earn this badge, students will demonstrate an understanding of managing and protecting sensitive data within hospitals and health systems. The badge contains three modules:
HIPAA Compliance Risk Management
HIPAA Security Risk Analysis and Risk Management
Enterprise Cybersecurity Risk Management
Participants successfully mastering the learning objectives for Module 1 have a fundamental understanding of the requirements of HIPAA Security Rule, Privacy Rule, and Breach Notification Rule. Students will be able to carry out a compliance assessment for a model hospital and create a remediation plan, based on gaps found.
Participants successfully mastering the learning objectives for Module 2 will have a fundamental understanding of the HIPAA requirements for risk analysis and risk management. Students will be able to carry out a NIST-based risk assessment of a model hospital including scoping and framing, asset determination, controls assessment and documentation, risk evaluation and risk response and reporting.
Participants successfully completing Module 3 will have mastered the terms associated with ECRM including risk, resilience, cybersecurity, threats, vulnerabilities, controls, likelihood and impact. Participants learn ECRM programs including risk appetite, risk treatment, utilizing frameworks such as NIST CSF and NIST SP 800-39 and ECRM maturity models. Students will analyze a model hospital to assess ways that an ECRM program can contribute to organizational success.
