Cybersecurity Major

Strong demand for cybersecurity talent

Presentation of the Cybersecurity Engineering Cycle

The Defensive Cybersecurity major spans two years, the 2nd and 3rd years of the engineering cycle. While, the teaching in the second year is generic and covers a wide range of skills that allow students to learn how to design, build and manage information systems, the second year is dedicated to defensive cybersecurity. The latter was created in partnership with Microsoft, Orange Cyberdefense in order to train future talents in cybersecurity. It is the first cybersecurity course to include a unique focus on identity. The major was awarded the SecNumEdu label by ANSSI (Agence Nationale de la Sécurité des Systèmes d’Information) in August 2018.

The need for cybersecurity talent is growing in large global companies. In the Information Systems & Defensive Cybersecurity major students understand computer security and cybersecurity issues and learn to develop the technological knowledge needed to deal with cyber threats. How to build an Active Directory, an Azure Active Directory, how to develop an ISS security policy, etc. are all essential skills for a cybersecurity expert.
