The Computing and Security Technology degree program appears to have a much less technical curriculum emphasizing specific technologies and IT topics, rather than more solid foundation knowledge that the Computer Science degree program curriculum includes.

The Computing and Security Technology degree program may give you more specific skills for finding an IT job now, but the Computer Science degree program will also allow for seeking jobs in software development and quality assurance, as well as giving you a more solid foundation for self-education of current and future topics and technologies.

I would suggest choosing Computer Science if you can handle it.
