Formation's goal

Career opportunities

The objective is to train IT systems security specialists and researchers capable of designing, analyzing and implementing security policies adapted to different environments.
The research requested in this area is clearly of an applied nature. For this reason, the training provides in addition to the theoretical disciplines necessary to model and solve the problems posed, a certain number of courses which allow to apprehend in depth the practical aspects of security.

    Graduates of the course can use their skills in the field of research and development since they have a fundamental approach allowing:
    – Some of them, if they wish, to prepare a doctoral thesis at the university.
    – For others, to ensure within companies, the functions of manager, security consultant (CSSI, RSSI, DSSI), security project manager or designer_developer.
    The targeted skills are:

    • Design and implement security policies in various environments.
    • Analyze the vulnerability and security potential of an infrastructure; detect its flaws and room for improvement.
    • Model security issues for data, hardware, networks, operating systems and applications.
    • React to attacks, repair a damaged system.
    • Identify the origins of damage; improve the reliability of detection, intrusion and backup systems.
    • Recommend and provide balanced solutions taking into account technical, organizational and relational constraints.
    • Convince decision-makers and users of the importance of the risks incurred and of the merits of the procedures envisaged or already in progress.
    • Organize the implementation of political, regulatory and technical decisions (concerning IT security) for all types of users.
    • Ensure a technological watch on developments in terms of risks and countermeasures.
