I appreciate the leadership for the University of Alabama for offering the Cybersecurity program. They have recognized the needs for continuing education in this field due to the frequency and severity of cyber incidents, even in our local communities. With adverse market conditions in the insurance industry, this program offers alternatives for increased premiums, and coverage restrictions. The instruction provided is in excellence for this field of study.
