How you'll learn
100 % online training on the SEIUM campus, with downloadable material, recorded classes and an assigned technical tutor. There are no fixed timetables: students progress at their own pace within the enrolment period, which makes it easier to combine with work.
Each module combines theory, guided reading of the original standard and applied exercises. The working software is Vector CANoe, Wireshark, BitSight, SecurityScorecard, Splunk, in free, academic or evaluation versions. Tests are studied using real underwriting assessment procedures for cyber risk at an automotive supplier, and a simulated response to a ransomware incident. Assessment is continuous per module, plus the final integrative project.

Your final project follows the real engineering workflow, step by step, reviewed by your tutor.
