Master of Science in Network & Information Security – Kingston University

In recent years, Network and Information Security has experienced a dramatic increase in importance to society as a whole, not only due to highly specialised IT systems, but due to the widespread use of the Internet. The confidentiality of personal information, the security of transactions carried out during online banking and the concerns about personal data stored on the cloud are examples of issues that everyone is facing in our modern digital world. Understanding these issues requires specialist knowledge, and a readiness for constant evaluation of a growing number of threats such as computer viruses, e-mail scams and computer criminals compromising networked systems with devastating effects to businesses and individuals. This programmehas therefore been designed to equip you with a thorough technical understanding of how to secure information, networks and networked systems.
