ATBU-B. Tech Cyber Security

Recent developments in computing, network technologies, internet, and cloud technologies have generated the need for reliability and secure exchange of digital information that are vital to most human activities such as banking, medicine, infrastructure management and elections. As the use of information technology expands, so are the potential consequences of cyber-attacks, and the need for a skilled workforce to prevent and defend against them. However, the pool of available talent to build and certify applications designed to withstand attacks, diagnose and prevent security intrusions is inadequate to meet the growing needs all over the world. Government agencies, business organisations, industries and military are scrambling to find qualified professionals to safeguard their systems, businesses and infrastructures.

The focus of this programme is to equip students with sufficient knowledge, and skills to minimise and prevent cybersecurity threats and incidents. Students are also equipped with demonstrable abilities to gather, analyse, and present evidence of any cybersecurity bridges in organisation in a professional way. The graduates of this programme will understand the impact of cybercrime on business and the public and be able to identify and implement specific security practices, features and techniques to enhance the security of computers, computer- based systems and cyberspace.
