Prevent and prosecute digital crime, by shaping your IT skills for a connected business world that craves your expertise. You'll study twin, linked disciplines on this Master's: cyber security - protecting data and systems from cyber attack, and forensic information technology - detecting and collecting digital evidence of criminal activity. You'll explore methods used by hackers, and how to prevent or combat them. You'll also learn the procedures to follow after an attack, and how to present this information to investigators or court officials. In our computer labs and forensic facilities, you'll infect a virtual machine with a virus of your own, overcome anti-forensic tools that try to hide evidence of crime, and make a mock arrest of a cybercriminal. You'll dig into cryptography, hacking and formal computer languages, such as Linux.
