"All CEOs have understood the stakes linked to the security of information systems. Security becomes strategic when it contributes to the objectives for the creation of value for a firm. Organisations are equipping themselves with the means that will enable them to go from an approach based on the setting up of heterogeneous technical systems to an approach that aims at the coherence and efficacy of comprehensive security systems, optimisation of processes and the rationalisation of investments.

The functions of those in charge of security are undergoing major transformation. The needs of firms are shaping the profile of new security experts. The missions of those in charge of security are evolving toward more comprehensive management of information system risks and concentrating on its added value vis-à-vis more strategic subjects. Its role therefore consists in correlating security objectives with the "professional" objectives of the firm.

The ambition of our MBA in Management of Information System Security is to provide participants with the means to seize new career opportunities by offering them the best training by professionals who are "references" in their specialities in contact with the players in the security market, leaders in their domains."
