Corporate Protection - Cybersecurity and Data Protection
Although cybersecurity is one of the main security needs today, due to the severity and frequency of attacks, the protection of corporate infrastructure and data cannot be based only on prevention against cyber-attacks. Threats to corporate data and systems also manifest themselves in other ways (natural events, attacks, etc.) that require the corporate protection officer to have skills that go far beyond cybersecurity alone.
The recent European NIS2 directive soon to come into force and The European Data Protection Regulation 2016/679, just to name a few of the relevant regulations, have generated a profound need to rethink data management within organizations. These now have the responsibility to integrate their systems and define a set of mitigation measures, including staff training.
The Executive Master's Degree in Corporate Protection - Cybersecurity & Data Protection is an innovative, hands-on course that responds to the growing need for figures capable of preventing threats, including cyber attacks, and organizing the company into a culture of security through the adoption of operational processes in line with international Best Practices and regulatory obligations.
The Executive Master in Corporate Protection - Cybersecurity and Data Protection, designed in collaboration with international professionals in the field, is a 100-hour training course that offers a highly specialized preparation useful for acquiring the technical and methodological tools needed to assess the major risks related to the security of data and corporate infrastructure. A specific focus will be on the different aspects that constitute proper management of information security: understanding information systems, networks and modern encryption techniques, while not neglecting other aspects, including financial risk.
Special emphasis is placed on the practical aspects where lecturers, through the use of hands-on exercises and laboratory activities, bring their experience to the classroom and transfer knowledge and skills in corporate security.
