Laurea in Sicurezza Informatica

Cybersecurity is an emerging science that concerns the protection of assets through assessing the vulnerabilities of cybersystems and creating incident response strategies to promptly countermeasure adversaries attacks. A wide range of knowledge and practical skills is needed to design and maintain the security of information systems and underlying infrastructures.
