Cyber Security (Master)
Cyber security has become massively more important in recent years. Companies are increasingly exposed to threats and many have already fallen victim to hacker attacks. In addition to comprehensive technical measures, people are still one of the biggest weak points in cyber attacks. The loss of data can be life-threatening. This is why securing IT systems is a key task for companies. Operational security is at the heart of our IT training. In addition to knowledge about processes and strategies for protecting critical data and infrastructure, the course focuses on broad, well-founded and, above all, practical training. At the heart of this is the central attack defense simulation, which is intensively supervised in small groups.
Smart Buildings in Smart Cities (Master)
Efficient, progressive, social, and sustainable – the demands of future-proof cities are high. The Master’s degree in Smart Buildings in Smart Cities deals with the contribution that smart buildings can make to these kinds of modern cities. A special focus is placed on the interaction between technology and energy with nature, humans, and the environment. At Salzburg University of Applied Sciences, students will be trained as a networked engineer and will develop promising solutions for complex problems in building and city planning.
