Bachelor of Science in Informatik mit Schwerpunkt Cybersicherheit

Use engineering to advance the science, policy, and application of cybersecurity to meet some of the most challenging global social challenges. Investigate a broad selection of contemporary security issues, including evaluating security threats and reactions, encryption and decryption systems, database security, and legal and ethical issues.

The underlying philosophy guiding Institute activities is based on establishing a foundational science of cybersecurity by adopting a broad, interdisciplinary approach for solving cybersecurity problems. In support of the Institute mission, an emphasis is placed upon closing the "skills gap" that exists today- there are not enough trained professionals in the field. Founded in 2014 by Darwin Deason, the Institute's mission is to advance the science, policy, and application of cybersecurity through basic problem-driven, interdisciplinary research. The Institute is committed to the goal of emerging as a world-class cybersecurity research center that innovates, develops, and delivers solutions to the nation's most challenging cybersecurity problems.

A nationally ranked private university near the heart of Dallas, Southern Methodist University (SMU) is a distinguished center for global research with a liberal arts tradition. SMU’s nearly 12,000 diverse, high-achieving students come from all 50 states and 90 countries to take advantage of the University’s small classes, hands-on research opportunities, leadership development, community service, international study, and innovative programs. The University offers a strong foundation in the humanities and sciences and undergraduate, graduate, and professional degree programs through seven schools.

Now in its second century of achievement, SMU is increasingly recognized for its ways to support students, faculty, and alumni as they become ethical leaders in their professions and communities. The University’s entrepreneurial spirit lives in people from every academic discipline who see opportunities to create something new globally and work hard to bring their innovations to life. SMU’s relationship with Dallas – the dynamic center of one of the nation’s fastest-growing regions – offers unique learning, research, social, and career opportunities that provide a launchpad for our students, faculty, and alumni to make a global impact. On the most beautiful college campus in the country, SMU Mustangs are energized by unbridled opportunities – from teaching, learning, and research to creativity, performance, and athletic endeavor. SMU was founded by what is now The United Methodist Church, in partnership with civic leaders. The University is nonsectarian in its teaching and committed to academic freedom and open inquiry.
