The Cybersecurity Master’s degree program is designed to provide students with deep and comprehensive knowledge of the digital world, and addresses the basic principles of network protection, evaluation, and interpretation.
Objectives
The main objective is to develop the necessary skills to provide organizations with the security they need in today's information society. Students learn how to design and implement an organization's cybersecurity program, as well as how to secure cloud, Internet and industrial environments. Thus, one of the most important points covered in this program is how to implement and audit new regulations such as the GDPR. Furthermore, the students will be able to deal with cybersecurity challenges derived from the blockchain, a relatively recent technology that allows more secure transmissions. They will also develop the necessary skills to work as an ethical hacker.
Methodology
At Educa PHAROS, we use a highly practical methodology focused on the direct application of knowledge in the student’s professional environment, combining theoretical content with real-world case studies, digital tools, and the guidance of a specialized teaching team.
