Cybersecurity
Presentation and goals
The global economic impact of losses due to cybercrime amounts to hundreds of billions of euros per year ($445 billion according to the McAfee/CSIS study of 2014) with a strong increase in attacks, especially for identity theft and digital data theft, as well as malicious attacks.
Protection against these vulnerabilities includes :
- Robustness to cyber attacks of sensitive infrastructure (e.g. stuxnet)
- Robustness of security components against software vulnerabilities and data leaks (e.g. heartbleed)
- Protection of privacy and security of cloud infrastructure
- Robust design and evaluation of safety components
- Fault detection in protocols or software and hardware components
The topics covered in the training cover the complementary areas of Cybersecurity, including cryptology, forensics, and privacy, in particular for embedded systems and distributed architecture.
The objective of this program is to train cybersecurity experts (including data privacy aspects) with a bac + 5 degree, able to evolve immediately in an industrial environment and who can also pursue a thesis.
The course is labelled "Core AI" by MIAI.

Access condition
The first year master's is accessible to candidates according to their transcripts (and/or interview) :
- Proof of a national degree conferring the degree of bachelor in a field compatible with that of the Master's degree- or by validation of studies or acquired experience according to the conditions determined by the university or the training
The second year master's is accessible to candidates according to their transcripts (and/or interview) :
- Having validated the first year of a compatible course (the course is accessible from the two common trunks General mathematics and Applied mathematics provided that the students have taken the appropriate optional courses)
- Or by validation of studies or acquired experience according to the conditions determined by the university or the training.
Public continuing education : You are in charge of continuing education :
- if you resume your studies after 2 years of interruption of studies
