Cybersecurity Engineer
A standard high level to meet the challenges of digital security in an ever-changing world.
Proposed on the Rennes campus, the Cybersecurity engineering training at CentraleSupélec aims to respond to the skills shortage in a context of growing IT threats.
It is based on a solid base in IT general (software, hardware, networks) and in cybersecurity (cryptography, audit, reverse engineering, supervision, secure development).
The courses are structured around a progressive specialization over three years, with a strong anchoring in the professional world and opportunities for projects, internships and professionalization contracts.
Become a Cybersecurity Engineer
The CentraleSupélec Cybersecurity engineering program trains experts capable of combining in-depth scientific and technical expertise with a comprehensive understanding of the issues related to their field.
Students learn to analyze security problems, design robust and innovative solutions, and apply them in complex and multidisciplinary environments.
They also develop skills in communication, teamwork and independent learning, enabling them to adapt to the rapid evolution of the field and make decisions in the face of increasingly complex systems.
Course Objectives:
- Training engineers experts in design and security of information systems.
- Learn to analyze, audit and optimize the security of digital infrastructures.
- Acquire a thorough understanding of ethical issues, legal et societal related to cybersecurity.
- Developing skills for respond to attacks, analyze malicious code and manage security incidents.
Program
A 3-year course
The training is spread over six semesters, with academic semesters combined with professional internships. Those in spring (S6, S8, S10) include a period of in-company training (internship). In the third year, students can choose to complete the alternating training, which allows them to work in a company while continuing their studies.
The lessons are divided into 3 areas:
Engineering Sciences
You will develop a rigorous mastery of the scientific tools essential to any engineer, regardless of their specialty. Mathematics, physics, optimization, statistics, and machine learning provide a solid foundation for approaching complex systems.
Humanities, Business and Professionalization
You'll explore the human dimensions of the engineering profession: career path, ethics, transitions, and the work environment. These courses prepare you to evolve with discernment in a multicultural and constantly changing world.
Specialization in IT and Cybersecurity
Over the semesters, you'll specialize in cybersecurity through a foundation in computer science, courses on low-level systems, formal methods, and targeted security courses. Electives complement this gradual increase in expertise.
