Welcome to the Information Security and Cybersecurity Department…

Welcome to the homepage of the Information Security and Cybersecurity Department at the Philadelphia University. Our department was established in 2020 to graduate specialists with the ability to preserve information from attacks. The science of information security and cybersecurity is one of the most vital sciences in the information technology sector. It is concerned with securing transmitting information over the Internet from various attacks, and developing technology and means of storing information and exchange it in various ways. The data and information security has become an obsession and a very important vital issue especially for transferring data over connected networks.

From a legal point of view, information security and Cybersecurity focus on finding laws and instructions to protect the integrity and confidentiality of the information. They also work to resist the activities of attacking information or exploiting its systems in committing electronic crimes. Therefore, governments have worked to develop legislation on Internet crimes to protect information from illegal activities that target information.  The information security specialization is considered a vital and renewed discipline due to its association with more than one specialization in an effective and influential manner. Therefore, we welcome students wishing to choose the information security and Cybersecurity department. We encourage them to contact the head of the department in the Faculty of Information Technology at Philadelphia University. Thus, they can obtain all the information necessary to properly continue their studies.
