Why become a cybersecurity engineer?
For several years now, we have been observing an upsurge in cyber attacks and threats: phising, DdoS, scams, data theft, espionage, identity theft, ransomware...
This sharp increase in attacks means that there is a major need for human resources trained in the fight against these cyberattacks. There are currently 500,000 cybersecurity vacancies in Europe, a figure that has been rising for as long as these professions have existed, and needs are intensifying.
By 2025, French institutions expect to double the number of jobs in cybersecurity, from 37,000 to 75,000. Source: FIC (Forum International de la Cybersecurité) report.

FAQs about cybersecurity training
What is cybersecurity?
Cybersecurity refers to all methods, technologies, and practices aimed at protecting computer systems, networks, data, and users from cyberattacks, intrusions, or information loss.
It concerns, for example, the protection of computers, servers, websites, and personal data against hacking, viruses, and data theft. Organizations such as ANSSI are involved in protecting digital systems, teaching best practices, and raising awareness about cybersecurity.
Cybersecurity is essential today because most activities (businesses, government agencies, individuals) rely on digital tools that must be secured. This need is accentuated by the rapid digitization of all services.
What training should you choose to work in cybersecurity?
The bachelor's degree in cybersecurity (bac+3) is primarily intended for post-baccalaureate students who wish to quickly enter the field. It is suitable for students seeking progressive, professional training to acquire the technical foundations of cybersecurity and gain access to operational positions or continue their studies.
