Master in Cybersecurity

The current global context, together with IT market trends and demand in this market, requires Coordinated training of experts in Cybersecurity. The global situation, cybercrime is on the rise, the need to train and educate staff in cybercrime information on how to counter cyber threats, and a clear and concise exposition of methods for mitigating cyber attacks, leads to this master program and home security cybernetic is stored where it is located-a context bine defines and concise, with increasing market share and demand.

The Cybersecurity Master&rsquo's degree program aims to inoculate generic cybersecurity concepts to help familiarize students with master's degree course concepts fundamental care define security in the information environment, such as malware, cyber attacks, zero-day exploitation, etc. Next, the knowledge set continues with exposure to associated cyber threat management the most common areas of the IT market where cybersecurity has a major impact, not just financially, but also in terms of the associated infrastructure: in the environment private, virtualized/cloud, and academic environments.

The consequences of such an impact are also immediately visible in business. The year 2017 has brought a significantly higher economic impact of cybersecurity, by 23%, in terms of financial view compared to 20163. Key security issues in this context, such as detection, containment, recovery, and investigation have all suffered, but trends vary and are becoming worrying: malware still dominates today’s cyber attacks, and ransomware applications have doubled in number in just one year, which demonstrates that security is becoming not only important but also imperative for the protection of personal data and to avoid significant costs as a result of the security breaches.
