Harness the Power of Cybersecurity and Lead the Future: Inside the Master in Cybersecurity Program

The Asian Institute of Management (AIM) recently hosted an informative mixer for prospective students of its Master in Cybersecurity (MCS) program. The event provided an inside look at this career-accelerating opportunity that offers technical expertise and leadership development.

What sets this program apart is its partnership with the International Information System Security Certification Consortium Inc. (ISC2). As the only academic institution in the Philippines to integrate Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) exam preparation directly into its curriculum, AIM gives students a significant competitive edge in the job market. Top performers – the highest 25% of the cohort – will have their CISSP exam fees reimbursed.

Expanding access to cybersecurity leadership, the program welcomes professionals from diverse backgrounds – no technical prerequisites required. The thoughtfully designed curriculum strikes a balance between technical mastery (digital forensics, network security) and strategic leadership skills (financial management, strategic planning), preparing graduates to excel in both specialized technical roles and executive positions.

During the event, Ma. Lourdes Michelle Karunungan, Head of Enterprise Risk Management at Home Credit Philippines and current student, shared her experience, “When I started, I was not really a technical person. So all the technical courses were really hard for me. The faculty is very supportive and my learning team as well. I think that is the beauty of the program, it becomes doable for those who are doing it part-time because the learning team is kind of a structure that allows you to leverage each other’s capabilities.”

Real-world application stands at the core of the AIM learning experience. Collaborative team case studies and comprehensive capstone projects address actual cybersecurity challenges, allowing students to apply theoretical knowledge to practical scenarios.
