Overview

This degree focuses on the infrastructure that powers the movement of data about the Internet. Students get an in-depth understanding of computer network design, implementation and optimisation through modules focusing on cutting-edge technologies. This includes software-defined networks, public, private, and hybrid cloud technologies, and ethical hacking. The cyber security eco-system has evolved and grown exponentially over the last few years and is a critical aspect for all sectors of our economy. Cyber security doesn’t just affect ‘technology’ companies. All companies now need to comply with a range of legal security aspects, and every sector now faces the risk of a cyber security breach – from healthcare, power grids, and telecoms to retail. This has been further enhanced due to the increasing dependency on digital technology during a health pandemic. The cost of a data breach can be enormous, with both direct and indirect expenses. IBM has stated that the global average cost of a data breach is $3.86 million, IBM Data Breach. The largest data breach to-date had 3 billion account records compromised and in the hands of the attacker. These records contained sensitive data about individuals. The Cyber Ireland North-West Chapter has been established to bring together industry professionals, academics, and local government representatives to represent the needs of the cyber security sector in the North West of Ireland. The aim is to enhance the innovation, growth and competitiveness of all companies and organisations working in cyber security in the North West Region of Ireland. ATU Sligo is committed to bridging this skills gap by building security into their modules from the ground up. The computing programmes all have security elements to the modules, ensuring graduates understand cyber security. Internationally, cybersecurity professionals have a severe shortage, and Cyber Ireland estimates a global shortfall of between 1.8 and 3.5 million security professionals within five years. This skills shortage impacts organisations of all sizes across a wide range of sectors.
