Diplôme d’ingénieur informatique mention cybersécurité

Presentation

The engineering programme at CentraleSupélec spans over 3 years. Students undergo two initial years of general studies, including courses in the field of computer science (SIP courses, algorithmic courses, Security & Networks…).

In the third year, the programme branches into 4 specialisations: ‘Systems’, ‘Artificial Intelligence’, ‘Software Science’, and ‘Cybersecurity’. The cybersecurity specialisation equips students with the necessary skills for securing information systems successfully, through training covering cryptography, prevention and detection of intrusions and malware, as well as various aspects of security engineering. The field of cybersecurity demands a very high level of technical expertise. It requires experts capable of understanding and anticipating increasingly complex attacks. These experts must continuously innovate and devise new means of defence and detection. They will be responsible for the security of tomorrow’s digital data. The objective of this specialisation is therefore to enable graduates to integrate into state organisations requiring strong technical competence, or into highly technically selective national or international companies (such as Apple Security team, Google project Zero, Amazon Information Security, etc). However, the goal is also for young graduates to potentially venture into entrepreneurship in the field of digital security.
