About the MSc

Cybersecurity and artificial intelligence technologies are two of the most critical and fast-growing areas in technology. Their combined use has the potential to offer significant advantages in the protection of information systems. AI has the potential to transform the field of cybersecurity by providing more effective prevention-focused solutions. However, the adoption of these technologies must be done with caution, taking into account the risks and challenges that may arise.

Artificial intelligence can be used to detect threats by analysing huge amounts of data in real time to identify anomalous activities that may indicate cyber attacks, such as malware and phishing. Also, through machine learning algorithms, security systems can automatically react to specific threats, reducing response time and limiting the consequences of an attack.
