Informatics - Information Security

University of Oslo

Overview

Cyber ​​security is defined at the highest national political level as a priority area for strengthening the security of our national ICT-infrastructure. With the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), we have a legal requirement that IT systems should be built and managed in accordance with the principles of embedded privacy and information security. To meet this requirement, it is necessary for all IT-professionals and IT-experts to be aware of information security and to have an understanding of basic information security principles, just as building architects must have the necessary knowledge and skills to design buildings with adequate fire safety.
