Information Security
My dream of joining the Information Security major at the UAEU came true, which makes
me feel very proud. The aim of studying this specialization is to achieve electronic
security in the UAE, secure information from unauthorized access by any person and
protect information from manipulation or deletion. The information security specialization
is very important in our time, as most of humanity uses computers to save personal
documents and private information, which makes the College of Information Technology
provide students with all the means to hone their skills, including free courses,
scientific projects and competitions, and it seeks to provide a high system of confidentiality
that mainly aims to continue the process of protection and insurance at all times.
