If she wants a doctorate in computer science her best bet is to get a master's degree in computer science. I don't know if a master's degree at cyber security would meet the qualifications to do a PhD in computer science.
However, if she's willing to pursue a doctorate in cyber security then there are a ton of options available to her.
In terms of master's degrees in computer science I would look at Georgia Tech's OMSCS program. I'm in it right now and I'm enjoying it. The nice thing about it is that even though it's a master's degree in computer science she could very easily take half of her courses as cyber security courses. The program is around the $7,000 total.
They also have an online master of science in cyber security that's about $10,000. There's a lot of overlap between those classes.
It's very rigorous, but it's ranked number seven in the country in terms of computer science. Another option is University of Texas at Austin's MSCSO program. It's about $10,000 and their school is also tied with Georgia Tech for number seven in the country for computer science.
After that there are a few online PHD programs in computer science that are available. I've actually considering them myself. Florida Atlantic University has won, although they typically want to see some work experience since it's more of a professional phd. Dakota State University has one if I recall and Mississippi State University has one. There are a few others too.
