东北湖景学院 is proud to announce that its Cyber Defense program has been recognized by the National Security Agency (NSA) as the area’s newest Center of Academic Excellence in Cyber Defense Education.
In 2019, 东北湖景学院 (NLC) began re-designing the existing cybersecurity curriculum within Alamo Community Colleges. The Cyber Defense degree created a technical skill pathway from Network Operations Specialist to Cyber Defense Infrastructure Specialist to Cyber Defense Analyst, 事件反应者, 法医分析员.

The 东北湖景学院 Cyber Defense Institute (NLC-CDI) was created in 2020 as a hub for the Information Technology programs at 东北湖景学院 (NLC) and as a cyber security resource for the tri-county area of Bexar, Comal, 和瓜达卢佩县. The NLC-CDI occupies the top floor of the Medina CTE Center (CATE) building. Our facilities include dedicated and isolated computer labs used for networking and cyber defense “hands-on” projects.

The NSA has recognized San Antonio as a regional hub for cybersecurity activity and hosts the largest cyber workforce outside of Washington, DC. Our mission is to prepare students for the cyber workforce through intensive hands-on experiences and community engagement beyond the classroom. Addressing critical skill gaps in the cyber workforce NLC courses are designed to move beyond the “know about” into the “how to perform” tasks and job role functions.
