The System & Cybersecurity area studies cybersecurity technologies not only for information and communications infrastructure such as networks, cloud, and operating systems, but also for diverse digital environments including cyber-physical systems (CPS), industrial control systems, and semiconductor-based computing platforms. Building on cryptography, system security, network security, and software vulnerability analysis, the area analyzes the latest attack techniques and covers technologies for effectively defending against security threats across computer systems, industrial manufacturing environments, and smart infrastructure.

• System and network security
• Cryptography
• Vulnerability analysis

The aim is to build system-centered security capabilities for responding to increasingly sophisticated cyber threats. Grounded in cryptography, system and network security, and vulnerability analysis, the area educates practice-ready security professionals who can understand and respond to security threats arising in computer systems and in a range of industrial and convergence environments.
