Stopień magistra inżynierii, specjalizacja w Cybersecurity

The program of Cybersecurity aims at teaching students the knowledge and solid skills in advanced specification, design, development, implementation, and maintenance of secure systems.

In particular, students should understand and apply methods and techniques to investigate vulnerabilities of a given system or a solution such as scanning techniques and penetration testing, from a theoretical and practical point of view. In addition, we focus on systems security management and audit. A didactic methodology is applied, based on classes, specialized seminars, conferences, case studies, practical sessions in computer labs, tutorials, projects, and self-learning. Students should participate in some international challenges around at least one of the cybersecurity domains (Systems, Networks, Telecommunication, Software, Web, and Hardware)

Target Skills

• Know the relevant technical parts of legal regulations in cybersecurity and their implications in the design of systems and security tools.
• Understand and master the basic security services: authentication, authorization, privacy and access control, etc.
• Analyze and detect anomalies and attack signatures in information systems and the web.
• Applying vulnerability exploitation to gain unauthorized access.
• Create and refine concise and comprehensively documents, plans, and projects in the scope of cybersecurity.
• Know the trends in the cyber-attack techniques.
• Know and apply the cryptographic and steganographic mechanisms required to protect data stored in a system or data transiting a network.
• Design and evaluate security architectures for Applications, systems Web sites and networks.
• Analyze the risks of introducing personal devices in a corporate professional environment. Know and apply the measures to control the risks.

Learning Activities And Methodology

• Lectures and practical session in the lab
• Individual and group work with projects
• Seminaries, conferences, and challenges

ESME : The Spirit of Innovation Without Borders

Founded in 1905, ESME is a private, nonprofit school under the supervision of the Ministry of Education and Research. The school has a long tradition of training engineers with a broad, well-developed foundation which allows them to move into any facets of the engineering job market without difficulty.

A recognized engineering school

Member of the consortium of the best French Schools in Engineering and Business «Grandes Ecoles», ESME is also a signatory to the Erasmus Charter for Higher Education and a member of « n+i » network, the international network of Engineering Schools.

ESME’s mission is to train engineers through state-of-the-art research. We seek to contribute to the advancement of scientific knowledge and broaden our teaching through industrial and international partnerships.

Student life in France

Recreation also plays its part at ESME with many students clubs ranging from sports to music and wine. The numerous social activities organized within the school represent excellent occasions to experience the French way of life and meet new friends.

In addition, the school’s extensive network of alumni and contacts in the industry enhances international opportunities for internships and careers abroad.

Fundamental Research

ESME provides opportunities for all students to be closely involved in cutting-edge research. Indeed, the high-level interdisciplinary faculty staff is committed to applied research through industrial and fundamental contacts, as well as to academic research within our fundamental research. Research fields cover a large range of subjects from energy systems to medical imaging or forensic sciences, for example.

Partnerships include international groups and start-ups, as well as prestigious national institutions such as INSERM (National Institute for Health and Medical Research) or CNRS (National Institute for Scientific Research). Students are associated with these research activities through internships and projects. Most Masters’ students carry out an R&D project in collaboration with a company or a research institute, under the supervision of a faculty member.
