Programme Introduction

The exponential increase in mobile devices, converged applications and Cloud technologies, initiatives such as Bring your Own Device (BYOD) / Choose Your Own Device (CYOD) and the advent of digital information technologies, has increased the proliferation of threats in our vibrant and active cyber-physical-natural environment diluting further its perimeter. Our cyberspace is constantly increasing its size almost linearly to its value recognising Cyber Security as a global response to the challenges posed by constantly evolving systems which are harder to secure.

The MSc Cyber Security seeks to address the increasing demand for Cyber Security related domains in both academic, vocational qualifications and projection for an increased shortage of Cyber Security professionals in the industry. The course has been designed by a team of leading experts, researchers and trainers in the field and gives the opportunity to the students to be exposed to cutting-edge technologies, tools and techniques in cyber exploitation and defence.

Modules

1. Ethical Hacking

The purpose of this unit is to provide an in-depth and specialised knowledge on penetration testing and vulnerability assessment. Students will be introduced to Ethical Hacking and the concept of offensive security with cutting-edge tools and research-informed delivery. Students will learn how to look for weaknesses in a target system to test the security posture for exploits in a lawful and legitimate way. This requires a skill set that includes but not limited to computer networks, operating systems but also aspects of psychology and the human behaviour.
