Cybersecurity

In an increasingly digitized world, it is highly necessary to have professionals who  can work in the field of cybersecurity

​

Cybersecurity is the practice of protecting systems, networks, and programs from digital attacks. By  Generally, these cyberattacks aim to access, modify or destroy sensitive information; extort users or disrupt business continuity.

​

Currently, the implementation of digital security measures is due to the fact that there are more devices  connected than people, and attackers are becoming more creative.

Functional Areas  of Development
