- OBJECTIFS :
In today's world, there is an ongoing surge of growth and progress, driven by rapid technological advancements and innovations. The need for digital data exchange has increased over the past decade, driven by the digital transition. It is therefore essential to secure digital data, networks, applications, and systems against cyber attacks. The present program is part of this perspective, the main objective is to acquire a strong knowledge of the concepts and techniques of cybersecurity.
The training will cover a broad and specific spectrum of courses in the field of cybersecurity and will revolve around IT, networks, applied cryptography, AI, and Generative Adversarial Networks. In parallel, the training will cover methods and standards of cyber risk policy and management, threat intelligence, web and IoT security, DevSecOps, Ethical hacking, forensics, and security of Industry installations. This training enables individuals to develop a comprehensive understanding of the technical and technological environments in which companies operate and acquire advanced technical and methodological skills for cybersecurity. The cybersecurity experts will possess advanced technical skills in information systems to collect, identify, analyze, and interpret various cyber threats that may affect computers, mobile phones, connected objects, or industrial systems. They will be able to define and implement an Information systems security strategy to prevent or respond to encountered threats effectively. The graduates will have the essential assets to take charge of cybersecurity projects, and to participate in the development of solutions and approaches responding to the challenges launched in the cyber defense field, both nationally and internationally.
