This program focuses on the design of communicative digital systems, including telecommunications, digital circuits, IT and security. Taking a systemic approach to security (cybersecurity, operating safety and personal data protection) enables the design of more reliable and durable systems.
The many research projects carried out by ENSTA Bretagne's Lab-STICC research professors feed back into the program. Researchers develop high-quality methodological approaches based primarily on software engineering for embedded systems and on model-driven engineering related to cybersecurity issues.
Program strengths
A comprehensive program on the cutting edge of cybersecurity
Program courses cover all the bases, from software and hardware architecture modeling and using sensor-collected data, to telecommunication implementation and software development.
System security (electronic and software) is integrated right from the initial design stage.
High-level research partnerships
At Brittany's Pôle d'Excellence Cyber, ENSTA Bretagne intervenes in fields ranging from antennas and analog channels to threat analysis.
ENSTA Bretagne's IT, software radio and cybersecurity research professors participate in numerous R&D programs with civilian and military firms both in France and abroad.
This research team contributes to the Lab-STICC shared research lab, a CNRS joint research center to which ENSTA Bretagne is the 3rd most important contributor.
Renowned experts and extensive experimental facilities
Reflecting its close ties to the defense sector, ENSTA Bretagne focuses high-level skills on modeling IT and cybersecurity systems, and has created a secure systems experimentation and study platform.
Every year, new equipment is added to this platform through the strategic Cyber SSI program, funded under the 2015–2020 State-Region Project Contract (CPER).
This €2.5 million investment has made it possible for the platform to acquire a calculator, a supervisory control and data acquisition system (SCADA) and a radio frequency bench.
