Polytechnique Montreal offers a new certificate in cyber security of computer networks

Intrusion, hacking, viruses, Trojan horses ... more and more threats on computer networks today. Identify, prevent these hazards, provide knowledge and develop skills to handle these events are the objectives of the certificate in cyber computer networks that the Centre for Continuing Education will offer Polytechnique Montreal from the fall of 2012.

This new program is aimed at stakeholders in the private and public anxious to preserve network security of their organization.

Practical training, rooted in the News
"The courses, which will combine theory and practice, will be taught by professionals in computer confronted daily with issues of cybersecurity," said Gervais Ouellet, coordinator of the certificate.

Another advantage of the program: the proactivity of the educational team that will adapt the course content to events. "If, during the training period, a new form of attack against networks appeared, it will be analyzed and inserted into the program," said Ouellet.

Courses will be offered online, which will serve clients located outside of Montreal.

Bachelor cumulatively
The Certificate in Cyber ​​computer networks fits logically following the cyberenquête certificate and the certificate in cyber fraud, both exclusive to the Continuing Education Centre of Polytechnic.

Students who successfully complete the three certificates will earn a bachelor cumulatively. "Graduates of this field are assured of good job prospects, says Mr. Gervais. Computer crimes have become a scourge. Businesses and organizations are very specialized in asylum numerical investigation. "

We can now file an application for admission to the new Certificate in Cyber ​​computer networks. Classes begin in September.
