Why choose this program?
In response to the rapid growth of cyber threats (hacking, viruses, ransomware, phishing, etc.) and the large-scale digital transformation of organizations, the ISEN Ouest Cybersecurity Bachelor trains professionals capable of understanding attackers’ methods, designing effective defense mechanisms, and actively contributing to the protection of systems, networks, and sensitive data.
This multidisciplinary field now affects all sectors of activity—from banking and healthcare to defense and public services—and concerns both large corporations and SMEs as well as public institutions.
