Nowadays, electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets, and computers are an important component of our everyday lives. While communication has become easier and more efficient than ever before, these technological advancements have brought with them new concerns about privacy and security. So there’s even a holiday dedicated to keeping your online data safe and secure – it’s called Computer Security Day.
Identity thefts, fraud, ransomware, viruses, and more constantly attack computers worldwide. They seek the most vulnerable users. In an instant, they take us offline, derailing a lifetime of accomplishment. While hacking and viruses have virtually been around since the early days of modern computing, evolving and increasingly sophisticated technologies began to see more applications, and therefore more security risks due to the simple fact that more data was at risk as computers found their way into banks, government offices, and businesses.
South Ural State University has a long history of preparing specialists who are able to prevent cyber threats, eliminate their consequences, and protect personal information and data related to the operation of entire enterprises. The School of Electronic Engineering and Computer Science has many majors in which an applicant will get necessary knowledge and skills to compete in the labor market.
