Hey Guys,
So i am going to shoot for my masters next year and i was looking for some feed back on some of the options i am considering. First a little background on me. I am RIT B.S. Network Security and Systems Administration Grad, currently a Security Analyst (2 Years exp) going into Info Sec Consulting (Pentesting and auditing) at the end of the year for a pretty big company in the computer industry. my goals is to start out pen testing, then go into incident response and end is research. I also aspire to get my Ph.D down the road but i am in my mid 20s so no hurry on this. I am looking to get my masters online from a school with a research program and offer a bit more then the generic university. I want to have a programming aspect, a forensics aspect and a auditing aspect in the cirriculum.
My prospects are:
NYU-Poly - M.S. Cybersecurity
