Networks & Security

The Networks & Security specialisation teaches you how digital systems communicate with one another. You will learn how to set up, operate and secure networks.
This covers local networks as well as global cloud services. You will also learn how systems can work together reliably and scalably.

The focus is not only on the technology, but also on concepts such as data security, encryption, system administration and protection against cyber-attacks – all of which are essential for anyone wishing to operate IT services in a stable and secure manner.

Whether it’s a cloud platform, a mobile system or an enterprise-wide network: here you will develop the technical foundation and security-related expertise needed to design digital infrastructures responsibly – efficiently, robustly and with a view to the future.
