Recently, there has been a dramatic rise in the number of high-profile cyber security incidents reported in the media, for example, the strain of ransomware WannaCry which crippled many world organisations such as the NHS. In turn, the demand for highly skilled security professional is massively growing as businesses try to bridge the ever-growing skills gap to protect their networks and data. For businesses, it is not a matter of if but rather when an attack will occur.

The UK is one of the many governments around the world which recognise the serious nature of the threat that is emerging from the cyber-sphere (so says a report published by gov.uk).... [-]

The course is modular; each student takes a combination of core and elective modules. 9 modules are studied and assessed in total. Modules consist of nominally 40 hours directed tuition in the form of lectures, seminars, group work, presentations, case studies and e-learning. This is covered in a full-immersion, intensive week.... [-]

The course aims to provide students with the skills to design, implement and manage computer-based systems security, using software and networking technologies. This title also includes the basic, key elements of forensic computing: forensics and the legal and ethical issues involved in any digital investigation.

Students will gain a broad understanding of the different levels of computer and network security together with the basic phases of a forensic investigation and of computing in general. They will examine wireless communication systems; networks; operating systems and interfacing socket programming; servers and their security implications; and the planning and implementation of network security management, including security, risk analysis and disaster recovery planning....

The programme provides students with core skills in wide aspects of the security of information systems and specialised skills in the chosen specialisation. Students get a unique chance to study under high-level cyber security practitioners from Estonian banks, telecoms, law enforcement, CERT and the NATO Cooperative Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence.

Main specialisations

Cyber Security; Digital Forensics; Cryptography

The programme is taught jointly by the two largest public universities in Estonia. The Cyber Security and Digital Forensics studies are concentrated in Tallinn, while the specialisation in Cryptography is concentrated in Tartu. Upon successful completion of the programme, students will receive a joint degree signed by both universities - TalTech University and the University of Tartu.... [-]

The objective of the MS in Cyber Security and Privacy program is to create a strong foundation and detailed technical knowledge in security, privacy/anonymity, and cryptography applied to computer systems, networks, and web applications. Graduates will have broad expertise in all these areas, with an option to cover not only technical but also legal, policy, and ethical aspects of security and privacy. In addition to in-depth knowledge of security mechanisms, standards, and state-of-the-art capabilities, they will also be able to design new systems and infrastructure-level security solutions.

The computer and information science department maintains and offers computing facilities for its students, faculty, and staff. There is a broad range of laboratories available, including many with Internet access, multimedia facilities, and support for all major operating systems (Linux/Windows/Mac). The Center for Information Protection also provides a laboratory with a network of wired and wireless computers that can be used as a testbed for educational and research purposes. Other computing facilities include research laboratories in areas such as networking, real-time systems, hypermedia, parallel processing, and collaborative systems. Students have access to the state-of-the-art software and hardware including Oracle database, UNIX-based workstations and Microsoft Windows PCs supported by file and compute servers.
