M. Tech. in Cyber Security Systems & Networks

This m. Tech program aims to train the students in the cyber security discipline through a well-designed combination of courseware and its application on real-world scenarios. The program has a strong emphasis on foundational courses in addition to diverse subject core areas such as cryptography, operating systems and security, cloud security, security of cyber physical systems etc. 

Students will be exposed to real-world problems, open-ended problems and simulated real-life scenarios with active guidance from domain experts in this field. The program will help the students to:

• Comprehend the various security threats and vulnerabilities of the cyber world keeping in line with industrial trends.
• Scale up the demand from multiple industrial sectors in the cyber world to promote effective methods, practices, and tools to counter cyber-crimes.
• To be able to architect, design and implement a fool-proof product line in cyber security.
• Ultimately this program will yield next generation cyber security leaders who can be successfully employed in various sectors of industries, business firms, Government departments, financial bodies, educational institutions, etc., and these sectors generate huge demand for well- trained, professional people to be employed on cyber security front and they are always on the look-out for professionally trained people in cyber security.
