Cybersecurity and Strategic Studies

IT Cyber Security is a program for those who wish to combine knowledge of computer science with knowledge of political science and administration.

The knowledge related to political science and administration includes:
1) the place of cybersecurity in the contemporary understanding of security;
2) the complexity of security threats in cyberspace;
3) diversity of areas of activities to ensure security in cyberspace, taking into account political science, but also legal, economic and sociological approaches.

Knowledge related to computer science includes:

1) The principles of operation of the operating system, its tasks and weaknesses;
2) basic programming structures and rules of designing programming scripts;
3) functioning of web applications and knowledge about the basic weaknesses of web applications;
4) principles of operation of computer networks and, weaknesses of protocols and mechanisms operating in all layers of the OSI model;
5) principles and best practices for safe web application programming;
6) principles of operation of cryptographic modules and the manner of their application in IT Systems;
7) the process of performing penetration tests and ability to describe each stage;
8) standards for information security management.

Computer science skills include:
1) efficient performance of tasks in the Linux operating system; 2) designing a simple algorithm and creating its implementation using Python;
3) conducting security tests for Web applications based on the OWASP standard;
4) analyzing the weaknesses of the computer network and applying a security mechanism to protect against potential attacks;
5) finding security bugs in web applications and applying corrections to eliminate them;
6) performance of the required analysis regarding the application of cryptographic methods and the use of appropriate cryptographic modules;
7) performing all stages of penetration testing;
8) creating process documentation of the IT system and conducting a risk analysis of such a system.
