IT Security

Confidentiality, integrity, availability and reliability

The security and reliability of modern IT systems already determine the economic success of companies or entire national economies. Every individual is also personally affected if passwords or even entire digital identities are misused. The effects of cyber attacks and data leaks can be far-reaching and undermine the trustworthiness of companies and organizations.
We provide you with the knowledge and skills you need to analyse and solve complex IT security problems. In this way, we prepare you to help shape the future of our digital society as an IT security expert and computer scientist.

Our close cooperation with research clusters and companies in the field of IT security gives you access to the latest research findings and practical examples. Our graduates are able to solve complex IT security problems and help shape the future of our digital society.

Introducing the IT Security degree program

Modern study where others go on vacation

Our program offers the unique opportunity to study IT security in the UNESCO World Heritage Hanseatic City of Lübeck. In this historic environment, students can enjoy the cultural offerings of Lübeck and the immediate proximity to the water in addition to their studies.

Gamification

The CTF (Capture The Flag) team offers a unique opportunity to learn about IT security in a fun environment. By taking part in Capture The Flag competitions, students can put their skills to the test in a realistic scenario and master new challenges at the same time.

International exchange programs

Our international network enables our students to take part in exchange programs. They enable our students to gain new perspectives and experiences. Both an exchange in the USA and via Erasmus are possible.

Combining theory and practice

Our program combines theory and practice to provide our students with a comprehensive education in IT security and reliability. In order to develop effective security measures, it is important to understand the mindset of attackers. Through modules such as Cybersecurity, students learn to identify potential vulnerabilities and develop effective countermeasures. Students also learn to develop fault-tolerant and resilient systems in modules such as Secure Software.

Final theses

The Institute for IT Security offers a wide range of research-related topics. From cryptography to hardware development , students have the opportunity to deepen their interests and skills in a specific area by writing a thesis.

Personal support

Students receive individual support from lecturers and researchers. The close contact also enables closer cooperation and research-related activities in IT security, which prepare our students for their future careers and give them the opportunity to apply their skills in practice.

Career prospects

As digitalization progresses, the security and reliability of these systems is becoming increasingly important. Graduates of the IT security degree program are universally applicable in software development and also have analytical and conceptual skills in IT security. They are proficient in techniques such as cryptography, forensics and software and network security, which makes them highly sought-after on the current job market. There are opportunities in areas such as penetration testing, IT security analysis, IT forensics and IT consulting.
