Graduate Certicate Information Systems or Associate ICS2

blackflames2101

Hello World,

I have a BA Political Science--Government and Politics.

I'm currently getting an MA in International Affairs with a concentration in Homeland Security.

As some of you probably know, Cybersecurity now plays a huge role in IR and Homeland Security.

I'm considering getting a graduate certificate at PSU in Information Systems AND/OR looking into being an Associate ICS2

My issue: I've never taken a cyber-related course in my life, I don't know how to code (I know, via youtube, that I need to know about Python and Linux ). I don't have college-level experience in Computer Science; as far as math goes I touched pre-calculus during my Undergraduate studies.

My question: Is it possible for me to get a graduate certificate in Cybersecurity or Informations Systems in my case? Does anyone know about being an associate in ICS2? OR does anyone know what I can do to get my feet wet in Information Systems Security? So I can gradually work my way up to CISSP? or is it impossible without a solid Bachelor or Masters degrees in Information systems?

Please, your answers will be helpful, as well as any advice on where to start?
