UC Tech Academy: Cyber Leadership Program

Modeled after the successful IT Leadership Program, the Cyber Leadership Program provides advanced leadership training for 30 – 40 UC leaders in disciplines that collaborate on cyber. The program offers advanced training in current and emerging cybersecurity issues, along with leadership skills development in areas such as negotiation, conflict resolution, communications and strategic thinking. Courses are taught by faculty from UC Berkeley’s Haas School of Business, UC executives, and other experts from industry and the public sector. This program is broken down into two parts (3-days) in-person per module.
