The Master's Degree in Cybersecurity and Resilience (MCSR) offers interdisciplinary training based on the three fundamental pillars of cybersecurity: people, processes, and technology. This program prepares students to design cybersecurity strategies and solutions and develop organizational resilience. The course focuses on protection against cyberattacks (cybersecurity), as well as the prevention of damage and possible negative impacts that may occur as a result of these attacks (cyber resilience).
With an innovative approach and a hybrid format, the master's degree is aimed at both recent graduates and professionals who wish to deepen their skills in this critical and constantly evolving area. Benefiting from Iscte's strong links with companies and institutions in the sector, the course combines a solid theoretical foundation with a strong practical and applied research component.
The growing digital transformation makes cybersecurity and cyber resilience two of the biggest challenges that organizations must face. The Master's Degree in Cybersecurity and Resilience offers interdisciplinary training covering the core pillars and functions of cybersecurity (Govern, Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, Recover), as well as the main objectives of Cyber Resilience (Anticipate, Support, Recover, and Adapt). This course aims to prepare students to effectively address cyber threats, maximizing the resilience of organizations and promoting innovation in the creation of cybersecurity products and services.
The structure developed for this master's course allows students to acquire comprehensive knowledge in multiple areas of cybersecurity and cyber resilience, with a strong connection to the market and collaboration with industry professionals.
At MCSR, students will develop and improve skills that enable them to:
