The Professional Master’s Degree Advanced Cybersecurity Management of TECH has an updated program that delves into biometrics and how to implement it to promote cybersecurity in different devices and apps.
Cyberattacks are more frequent today, and using a password is not enough to protect people’s information on the Internet, which is why many digital platforms decided to implement multiple data authentication systems, including biometric technology to log in to an app, account, or device by verifying the identity of a person using their unique physical traits or behavior patterns. For this reason, the Professional Master’s Degree Advanced Cybersecurity Management created by TECH University has as its main goal to train experts who can handle cybersecurity and manage the department properly.
Considering the above, biometrics is a technology responsible for finding a person from unique characteristics, it is more secure than traditional passwords. Some of the identity acknowledgments are:
- Facial recognition: It is an automated system of biometric verification that compares aspects such as face shape, distance between the eyes, texture of the skin, marks or warts, and others to verify identity.
- Eye recognition: This system is more exact since it stores patterns of an organ of the body that is exceptionally unique, being the least susceptible to change over the years.
- Fingerprints: It is a system in which the ridges and impression patterns of a person’s fingerprints are stored in a digital system, to later compare them with the fingerprint that is scanned when authenticating the identity of a user. Having in mind that any person in the world is identical to another when it comes to their fingerprints.
- Voice recognition: It is a system where the sound of a user’s voice is stored in a storage with the purpose of authenticating its identity, because there are several physical factors that make the sound of the voice different from that of others, such as the shape of the nose, mouth, larynx, and the length of the vocal tract.
Protecting the security and information of the user on the web is of vital importance, therefore, it is looked that the technology is implemented at a more accelerated level to promote cybersecurity since this has been implemented in aspects of great rigor such as issue electronic passports and biometric passports, have control over the migratory movements of a country through facial recognition and fingerprints, and the banking sector has also implemented biometric authentication in its digital banking single or mixed system to guarantee greater security when making payments, protecting the data and accounts of their clients.
Professional Master’s Degree Advanced Cybersecurity Management
This program was designed by TECH University since the digital world has revolutionized because more processes, operations, and basic tasks of all kinds are carried out through an electronic device; however, smartphones, tablets, computers, and apps may be susceptible to cyberattacks. For that reason, having a professional in charge of managing cybersecurity in companies is so important as they will be able to lead and effectively manage these services using the required tools, knowledge, and techniques.
Added to the above, digitization and its advances have made it possible for many banking operations to be carried out from a mobile application, updates in the field of health such as appointment scheduling systems or access to medical records, consult invoices, or request services from companies in areas such as telephony, among others. However, this also gives way to an increase in information vulnerabilities, due to that fact, companies are looking for people who specialized in cybersecurity to prevent these situations.
TECH deepens in many aspects in each module such as security in the development and design of systems, cryptographic techniques or security in Cloud Computing, information systems, type of security measures, firewalls, cybercrime, security architectures, NIST method, digital certificates, networks such as PAN, LAN, and WAN, quantum cryptography, deep web, phishing, malware, forensic analysis, among others. All content in this master was designed by leading experts in this field to supply a complete knowledge of all relevant issues of current cybersecurity.
Re-Learning method
The Professional Master’s Degree Advanced Cybersecurity Management of TECH is developed entirely online. During the 12 months of training, the student has access to the program’s contents at any time and from any device, allowing them to self-manage the study time with maximum flexibility and adapt to each student’s schedule.
It has its own learning method, ‘Re-Learning’, based on asynchrony and self-management. The contents are presented in an attractive and dynamic way in multimedia capsules that include audio, videos, images, diagrams, and conceptual maps to corroborate knowledge.
TECH Technological University
TECH Technological University, the world’s largest university, is also the official online university of the NBA (National Basketball Association) in Latin America. It belongs to the TECH educational group, a Spanish-owned multinational recognized by the Financial Times as one of the 200 fastest-growing companies in Europe. The company, founded and directed by Manuel Sánchez-Cascado de Fuentes, has also been considered the most highly valued Spanish technology company in the last 15 years.
Thanks to its fully digital learning system, it supplies training to students from anywhere in the world. An international trajectory has allowed it to become a benchmark in distance learning, with a catalogue of over 10,000 programs, over 100,000 new students each year, and 500,000 graduates from over 150 countries.
Specialized highly qualified postgraduate programs, they offer their students the best training programs at an international level, being leaders in employability with 99% of their students working in the first twelve months, according to data from the consulting firm KPMG.
