Department of Cyber Security and Digital Forensics
Program Overview
In today’s world, our society is largely dependent upon internet and internet-based systems. Last one decade witnessed tremendous growth and penetration of internet across the globe which not only made our lives simple but also generated new challenges like cybercrime and data thefts. M.Sc. Digital Forensics and Information Security is designed to understand the nuances of cyber security and importance and application of digital forensics as a scientific tool investigate and prevent cybercrimes. The structure of this course covers almost everything which will enable a learner to understand fundamentals of cyber crimes to more complex things like A.I and Internet of Things. This course offers in-depth knowledge of computing, network security, application security, vulnerability assessment and penetration testing and more complex yet latest sophisticated technologies like Artificial Intelligence, blockchain and crypto technologies. As a part of pedagogy, laboratory component is mandatory in this course, which will help students to get first-hand learning experience of information security and application of digital forensics.
