The Education

The increasing dependence on digital technology in today’s society has led to a growing demand for competence in network and IT security. This competence is crucial for organizations to protect themselves against future cyberattacks and mitigate the effects of potential breaches.

The educational program prioritizes great emphasis on fundamental security practices, including risk assessment and vulnerability analysis. The overarching goal is to develop independent security administrators capable of implementing effective security measures and conducting comprehensive IT security investigations. An important aspect of the program is to develop an understanding of software architecture and monitoring network traffic in security-related contexts.

Upon completion of the program, graduates will have the skills to participate in a range of tasks from the installation, operation, and optimization of servers and clients to the progressive development of an organization’s ICT systems. They will also be able to offer guidance, support, and advice in ICT security.
