Network Architect at International SOS

This program sharpened my understanding of how real-world cyber threats unfold—and how to stop them. From ethical hacking to risk analysis, each module provided me with tools I can utilize. I especially valued the attacker’s mindset approach. It’s not just theory; it’s how today’s security teams think. Ready to apply this in the field and take on more complex security challenges ahead.Read More

Cybersecurity | CEH Certified

This program flipped the switch for me. I didn’t just study cybersecurity; I have started to think like a threat actor. That shift in perspective, paired with hands-on labs and case studies, helped me connect the dots across everything from cryptography to penetration testing. Now I’m hungry for real-world exposure and eager to keep sharpening my skills in this dynamic, high-stakes field.Read More

FAQs

About the course

Is this M.Sc in Cybersecurity beginner-friendly?

Yes, if you have a technical background. The program starts with foundational concepts in computing, networks, and systems before moving into advanced areas like security tools, ethical hacking, and digital forensics. However, it is not intended for students from the arts or management streams.

No. You will learn Python and shell scripting from scratch, and networking concepts are explained from the ground up. By the time you are finding vulnerabilities or defending systems, you will already be confident with the technical foundations.

Most online courses are either too basic or not aligned with real industry roles. This program is a recognised European master’s degree delivered fully online with support sessions, virtual labs, and projects. You graduate with an M.Sc from a leading French institution, valued across Europe and worldwide. Not only this, DSTI’s Cybersecurity Program also prepares you for certifications like CCNA, Microsoft 365 Certified, Microsoft Cybersecurity Architect Certification, CISCO CyberOps associate certification and more.

It is focused entirely on cybersecurity. You will use real tools such as packet sniffers, threat scanners, SIEM platforms, and cloud security dashboards. Programming is just one part of it. The aim is to help you understand, detect, and defend against real threats.

You get personal career support from day one, including mentoring, interview preparation, resume reviews, and access to hiring partners worldwide. The projects you complete double as portfolio pieces, so you graduate with proof of your skills as well as a degree.
