Why Study Cyber security?


The world is adapting innovative IT solutions such as mobile technology, online banking and
electronic government services into everyday use. However, with so many e-solutions and such
extensive use of the Internet, attention needs to be turned to the security issue. Cyber systems
require innovative and secure IT solutions for everyday use. Therefore, the demand for skilled
security professionals is arising to protect against cyber-attacks. Offered through the Department
of Computer Science, MS (Cyber security) is designed to respond to the fast-growing demand for
technical cyber security experts nationally and internationally. It provides the necessary
foundations for the design and development of systems that need to be secure. The major focus
will be given to the design of secure systems that exhibit confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
The program will provide students with core skills in wide aspects of the security of information
systems.

Key objectives of the program are as follow:

PEO-1 Recognize and evaluate security requirements and issues in organizations using IT
systems.
PEO-2 Assess cyber security risk management policies to protect an organization's critical
information and assets adequately.
PEO-3 Measure the performance of security systems within an enterprise-level information
system to maintain and update an enterprise-level information security system.
PEO-4 Implement continuous network monitoring and provide real-time security solutions.
