The University of South Florida is expanding a certificate program designed to provide the skills needed to address critical shortages in cybersecurity professionals.

Under the expansion, an additional 400 military veterans, first responders and public-sector professionals will be able to access the InfoSec Governance, Risk and Compliance Analyst (GRC) program for free. It will remain available to others for a fee.

Program graduates are helping implement security controls that reduce cyber risks and strengthen organizational resilience.

The six-week online program equips participants with advanced skills in cybersecurity risk management, regulatory compliance and incident prevention through USF’s Office of Corporate Training and Professional Education. Upon completion, graduates earn a digital microcredential from USF.
