The Department of Cybersecurity is established at the Faculty

The most sought-after IT specialists of the present and the future will be cybersecurity engineers, whose main task will be to prevent and defend against cyber attacks on computer systems and networks. For years, our faculty has focused on cybersecurity education, which has resulted in several internationally recognized top rankings for our students. The IT specialists from CyberLAB, which brings together talented future engineers, have been taken to a new level: the Department of Network and Cyber Security is established to provide future professionals with higher quality knowledge than ever before by exploiting new opportunities.

"An IT system is made up of three components: hardware, software and human resources, the "weakest link" of them is always the human resource. Through education, you can raise people's awareness and strengthen their place in cyberspace. The Department of Network and Cybersecurity focuses on both of the two areas in its name: cybersecurity deals with the devices that are connected to cyberspace, and devices typically communicate with each other over networks, just as people reach these services over networks. The courses of the new department are also related to computer networks, telecommunication networks and information security, cybersecurity." - Gábor Gyurák, master teacher and head of the new department.
