What is Cyber Engineering?
Cyber engineering combines the fundamentals of computer
engineering, cryptography, and cybersecurity techniques to design, incorporate,
and secure systems across the digital landscape. This includes (but is not
limited to) embedded technology, autonomous technology, edge and end-point
technologies.
Careers in Cyber Engineering
Careers in cyber engineering include roles like computer
engineering, software engineering, embedded systems development, embedded
system administration, cybersecurity engineer, and embedded forensics
consultant which are commonly seen in autonomous and robotic products, smart
products, smart homes, smart cities, DoD, and healthcare products.
What is Cybersecurity?
Cybersecurity is the technologies, processes and practices of
protecting, administrating, and developing policy of root-of-trust (RoT) for communication/flow
of data and information from digital attacks by assessing potential threats
from internet interfaces, human interfaces, and combating them with cyber
security techniques.
Careers in Cybersecurity
Careers in cybersecurity include roles like web or cloud based digital
forensics analyst, security consultant and ethical hacker.
What is the Difference Between Cybersecurity and Cyber Engineering?
Cyber engineering focuses on the development and securing of Internet-of-Things
(IoT) devices and microcontroller-based products used in everyday products, transportation,
and quality-of-life products while cybersecurity makes sure information-technology
/ networked systems are protected from unlawful access and disclosure, theft,
and damage.
