The current global context, together with IT market trends and demand, corroborate the need for enhanced training of cybersecurity experts. The global situation, the ever-increasing cybercrimes, the need to train and educate information technology personnel on how to counter cyber threats, and the clear and concise presentation of methods for mitigating cyber attacks, determine that the Cybersecurity master's degree program finds its place in a well-defined and concise context, with an increasingly large market share and demand.

The Cybersecurity master's degree program aims to inoculate generic notions of cybersecurity, which will help familiarize students in the master's degree cycle with the fundamental concepts that define security in the information environment, such as malware, cyber attacks, "zero-day" exploitation, etc.
Subsequently, the knowledge set continues with the exposure of cyber threat management associated with the most common areas of the IT market where cybersecurity has a major impact, not only from a financial point of view, but also from the point of view of the associated infrastructure: in the private environment, in virtualized/cloud environments, and in the academic environment.

The consequences of such an impact are also immediately visible in the business environment. The year 2017 brought a significantly higher economic impact of cybersecurity, by 23%, in financial terms compared to 2016. The essential aspects of security in this context, such as detection, isolation, recovery and investigation, have all suffered, but the trends vary and are becoming worrying: malware applications still dominate the type of cyber attacks today, and ransomware applications have doubled in number in just one year, which demonstrates that security is becoming not only important, but also imperative to protect personal data and avoid significant costs as a result of security breaches.
