Cyber Security Sabanci University

Overview

Key Features

As cyber attacks and threats have been escalating their negative impact on IT infrastructures, cybersecurity, being on the confluence of computer science, electrical engineering and mathematics, emerges as an important, independent discipline, which provides the theory, the tools and the techniques to predict, prevent and mitigate cyber attacks. 

However, the paucity of cyber security professionals, experts, and academics still remain the major obstacle to sustain meaningful strategies and deploy effective countermeasures to overcome cybersecurity threats.

With a curriculum carefully designed to address contemporary cyber-security needs, its academic staff doing research in relevant areas, and its experience and progressive approach in education, Sabancı University provides students with a unique opportunity to have a graduate degree in cyber security. 

Prospective students of the Cyber Security program at Sabanci University will receive an in-depth education and participate in original research projects in the following areas: cryptography, mathematics of cryptography (especially number theory and abstract algebra), cryptographic engineering (secure and efficient realization of cryptographic algorithms), system level knowledge (operating systems, computer architectures), computer networks and security, wireless networks and security, software security, digital forensics, penetration testing, cybersecurity intelligence, data privacy and biometrics.
