Basic Information

Introduction

The main characteristic of the master's degree, which makes it unique, is that it uses Data Science and Machine Learning models to study in depth the most current Cybersecurity incidents, deducing from this analysis the most introduced Protection Architectures in the sector.

We train future Cybersecurity Architects in the most demanded protection techniques, such as Zero Trust Architectures, applying Data Science models in their design, in validating the robustness of architectures and in identifying the attacks that cause the most losses. are causing in the industry.

We are organized into five modules. You can take them in one year or several. The two initial modules are Introduction to Cybersecurity and Python programming focused on data. The following three modules focus, on the one hand, on the architectural and technological aspects of Cybersecurity (NIST 800 Model) and on the analysis models of the most current attack techniques such as Cyber ​​Kill Chain and MITER ATT&CK. To this we add the practical application of Data Science and Machine Learning (Python fundamentally) to identify anomalies in the behavior of systems and people, which allow us to react quickly to an attack.

As you finish each of the modules, you obtain the corresponding Higher University Degree. At the end of the five modules and the Final Master's Project, the Master's degree is issued. You can take it whether you have a university degree or if you have experience in the world of Computer Science.

We are in the Fuenlabrada Campus of the URJC. The duration of the Master is 600 hours. We will start on October 15 with afternoon hours: from 16:00 p.m. to 20:00 p.m. from Monday to Thursday. Given the current situation, for the 20/21 academic year, classes can be followed in person or via streaming. Let's broadcast all classes!!!
