The safe path to a safe future

Due to the constantly growing number of information processing systems, the security aspects closely linked to these systems and the ever-increasing threat potential, a comprehensive consideration of security measures and their management for these systems and the information processed is essential. The content of the master's degree program "Information Security Management" (ISM) is based on internationally recognized standards and uses the 15 years of know-how of the Department of Secure Information Systems (with Bachelor 's and Master's degree programs) in the field of IT security training. Due to the part-time study format with blocked attendance weeks in each semester and the intensive use of distance learning and examination elements, ISM is an ideal supplementary training for students with several years of professional practical experience.
