The Cybersecurity Department is one of the most important departments in the College of Engineering and Information Technology and the university as a whole. As everyone knows, modern technology is indispensable and has become a necessity in all fields. Transforming to the digital world has become a priority for institutions and governments. With the tremendous and rapid developments of our time and the digital world's entry into most aspects of our lives, there has been an urgent need to study this specialization, and the demand for students in this specialization has increased significantly locally, regionally, and internationally.   From this standpoint, the role of the Cybersecurity Department at  Emirates International  University came into play. Through the Cybersecurity Program, the department works to provide the information technology sector with highly qualified national specialists in the field of cybersecurity through a distinguished academic cadre and high-quality study courses that keep pace with the continuous development in the technology sector.
