About the program

Throughout the world there is a steady trend towards digitalization involving the implementation of information systems and the accumulation of huge amounts of valuable information in them.

According to the international research company "Statista", the total amount of information created by mankind is estimated at 50 zettabytes (50 sextillion bytes) and will grow to 175 zettabytes by 2025, that is, more than three times in 5 years. A significant share of this volume is accounted for personal data, information related to commercial, state secrets, critical information infrastructure, as well as a civil digital footprint that can be used to create an identity profile.

Information security is an educational program in the field of information technology. The disciplines of the program study technologies, people, information, and processes together, and aim to ensure the continuity of their activities in the context of the constant presence of threats. The training program is interdisciplinary, including aspects of law, politics, human activities, ethics, risk management, and computer science.

Information security is based on information protection-ensuring its confidentiality, availability and integrity, as well as preventing any compromise. The tasks of cybersecurity specialists include ensuring the security of information systems from malicious cyber attacks, often aimed at stealing important confidential information or intercepting the management of internal systems of the organization.

Information security, as a sphere of employment, has developed and grown significantly in recent years. It has developed many professional specializations, such as network and related infrastructure security, software and database security, information system audit, business continuity planning, electronic record detection, and computer forensics. Information security professionals have very stable employment and high demand in the labor market. The world is facing a current and growing shortage of qualified cybersecurity professionals and practitioners. Both government and non-government sources predict that by 2022, almost 1.8 million cybersecurity-related positions will remain unfilled. The demand for professionals in this field is acute, growing every year.

The faculty implements a similar educational program in the specialty of 4 years, see the code 10.03.01.

Training at Moscow Poly

Professional environment; about 30% of teachers are practitioners from the industry, the faculty regularly organizes events from partner companies (lectures, master classes).

Championships and competitions: students of the educational program take part in specialized hackathons, competitions, and championships.

All students of the IT faculty get free access to hosting https://fit.mospolytech.ru/, learn how to host and administer web resources, store laboratory work and projects, and collect a portfolio of their own work to demonstrate their personal growth and experience to a future employer.

Program Questions

In the context of international cyber threats, specialists need to get information about new cyber threats as soon as possible. Most of this information is initially generated in English. The curriculum includes foreign language courses from the first semester to the penultimate one. The presence or early acquisition of reading skills in English is highly desirable for students. The subjects and main educational materials are presented in Russian, and additional literature and information resources are often studied in the original language — in English.

We receive school graduates from all over the country and abroad. The level of programming is different for everyone: some students almost did not learn it in computer science classes, others have mastered Pascal at the initial level, very rarely C/C++. The educational program provides an end-to-end cycle in programming and development languages, starting with the study of programming languages, mathematical logic and algorithm theory, moving into the development of information systems and reverse engineering of software tools.
