SMU Launches New Cybersecurity Track to Address Talent Shortage
Imagine a school in Singapore, SMU, is starting a new program to help people become experts in keeping our digital world safe.
They're launching a special course on cybersecurity.
This is because there aren't enough people who know how to protect computers and online systems from bad guys.
The program will teach students how to understand cyber threats and also how to run a business.
The idea is to create leaders who can make smart decisions about cybersecurity.
The program will involve real-world projects and partnerships with companies.
This new program will help Singapore and the region to strengthen their digital security.
SMU launched a new Cybersecurity track in its MITB program.
The program combines technical training with business and leadership education.
It aims to address the growing demand for cybersecurity professionals.
The program incorporates industry integration with capstone projects and partnerships.
Applications will open January 1, 2026, for the August 2026 intake.
