Programme structure

The training concept in the bachelor’s degree program “Secure Information Systems” is based on the following main topics:

-Network security – the transmission of data over insecure computer networks, such as the Internet, is becoming more and more problematic due to the extensive commercialization of these networks. A well-founded training in the correct use of cryptographic procedures to secure data transmission
is therefore a core area of ​​the SIB degree.

-Data security – the protection of EDP data from manipulation, theft, pirated copies, but also catastrophes, is another focus of the SIB course. The students experience a well-founded state-of-the-art training in the areas of data archiving, backup systems and disaster recovery.

-System security – in addition to the secure transmission of data and the protection of data, the secure operation of computer systems, the physical access protection to the systems and the necessary access control procedures are indispensable in a modern IT landscape. Biometric identification processes, chip cards and RF token systems are the most important electronic authentication systems today. Backup concepts …) and the use of the most modern recognition and authentication procedures are a matter of course in the SIB course.
