Syllabus

The Postgraduate diploma in Computer Security Defense Measures is an advanced program aimed at executives and managers of different departments of the company, who must assume the responsibility of protecting the company against any computer attack it may suffer.

The syllabus of this Postgraduate diploma will provide students with the necessary leadership for the adoption of all necessary measures, as well as the implementation of the main tools and existing protocols  to prevent a company from suffering a cyber-attack, and in the case of suffering it, to know how to act and lead the whole team to reverse the situation.

During the 450 hours of specialization, students will be provided with practical material that will allow them to extrapolate any incident to their own company. It is, therefore, a deep immersion in real situations that a business may experience.

This Postgraduate diploma delves into the analysis of threats in the IT system, the management of any incident and the main policies to be adopted in each company depending on the security attack in which it has been affected.

This Postgraduate diploma takes place over six months and is divided into 3 modules:

Module 1. Security Policies for the Analysis of Threats in Computer Systems
Module 2. Security Incident Management Policies
Module 3. Practical Implementation of Security Policies against Attacks
