Computer Security is an area of expertise in high demand, as cyber attacks can affect all areas of IT. In this context, defence measures are based on the systematic progressive documentation of TTPs (Tactics, Techniques and Procedures) as instigated by the attackers. A defence expert must master the basics of modern operating systems as well as be familiar with distributed applications in the cloud and methods of computer forensics and data analysis.
In the practice-oriented Cyber Security online study programme, you will be trained as a threat hunter with leadership potential. You acquire up-to-date knowledge in the field of Cyber Security and deal with the architecture, programming and maintenance of security systems. In addition to incident response and computer forensics, you will learn aspects of Pentesting and Reversing to understand the perspective of cyber criminals.
