In recent years, cybersecurity has become a pervading requirement for all computer systems in a modern and digitalised society. The specialisation in Cybersecurity will teach you to protect digital systems and data against cybercrime by working with security in the overall system. This includes everything from the development of software to safe management and operation of finished systems.
You will work on specifying security requirements, defining security architectures and validating the security properties of systems through analytical or empirical methods – for example pentests (ethical hacking), which are simulated cyber-attacks on digital systems.
As a graduate MSc in Engineering with specialisation in Cybersecurity, you will have an important role in fighting cyber espionage and cybercrime. This may be as a manager, architect or developer of security-critical IT systems, network security specialist, penetration tester or as a forensics investigator.
