Postgraduate certificate Reverse Engineering in Cybersecurity

Applying cybersecurity techniques to prevent malicious software requires having extensive and detailed knowledge of how the applications work, from communication protocols to algorithms, so as to identify the potential route of a computer attack. Reverse engineering techniques, such as static code analysis and dynamic analysis for decrypting communication protocols, lead to a sufficient understanding of the protocol involved in developing proprietary programs. Moreover, there are also other useful techniques thatfacilitate the detection of potential computer system vulnerabilities, which is why TECH has designed this program to teach business professionals how to act to detect and solve them, thus ensure secure computer use.
