About educational program “Cyber Security of the New Information Environment”

I have experience in implementation of measures for protection of confidential information, and I am also engaged in educational activities related to safe possession and use of internet by children.

For the last 3 years I have been working for the company BIG4, where I develop the direction of cybersecurity, as well as IT and innovations. Since recently I am a member of the organization “ISACA”, which develops the direction “Cybersecurity Certification” for students.

At Moscow Poly I am trying to enrich the direction of information security with the opportunity to have practice together with experts from business community, and, also, to introduce certification of the world level for the graduates of the Bachelor course according to the system “ISACA”.

I consider my goal to attract the most advanced companies and technologies from the sphere of cybersecurity services, the best developments of practical workers from the sphere of documentary and non-documentary security and to construct the feedback system “teacher-student” and “company-student”. 

Speaking of the world trends, the companies more and more often face the growing shortage of experts in the area of information security, while the wages in this area keep increasing.

Currently, in the rating of professions in demand, the leading positions belong to specialists in the following fields: exploration of threats to information security, development of software, cloud storage of information and data protection in clouds, auditing and Bigdata.

Our program helps a student to develop both theoretical and practical skills in project activity, and, in addition, it offers an opportunity to take an exam for the certificate of the international level “CyberSecurity Fundamentals”. This is a big advantage for seeking a job in the sphere of information security.
