The Master in Cybersecurity (Online) (MSc) at UCLan Cyprus will appeal to people with an interest in understanding cybersecurity issues with emphasis in areas such as cyber warfare, cyber defense, ethical hacking, network forensics and information security management. The program will provide students with the specialized knowledge required, including theory, technologies and relevant design techniques, as a prerequisite for designing secure networks.
The constant advancement of technology and the introduction of cloud services, smart devices and wireless communications as well as the increasing penetration of the Internet in our everyday activities and the sharing of sensitive information through it, have created a need for information assurance and data security.
During the Master in Cybersecurity (Online) (MSc) students will have the opportunity to apply their theoretical knowledge through specialized physical, virtual and remote security laboratories in which they will be able to carry out activities such as reconnaissance, network scanning and exploitation exercises, and investigate the usage and behaviour of security systems such as Intrusion Detection Systems.
