In the first State of the Union address of his second term, President Barack Obama emphasized the growing concern of cybercrime in America, and called for action to prevent cyber threats to the nation’s security and economy. U.S. News & World Report-ranked Florida Tech is already answering the president’s call with cybersecurity education available to professionals worldwide through 100% online learning.
In addition to dealing with budget deficits, healthcare and job creation, the president stressed that, “America must also face the rapidly growing threat from cyber attacks. We know hackers steal people's identities and infiltrate private e-mail. We know foreign countries and companies swipe our corporate secrets.” He continued, “Now our enemies are also seeking the ability to sabotage our power grid, our financial institutions, and our air traffic control systems. We cannot look back years from now and wonder why we did nothing in the face of real threats to our security and our economy.”
