Mastercard, NTU launches new masters program on cybersecurity

The program is tailored for professionals seeking a spot in the cybersecurity space.

Mastercard and Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) launched a new FlexiMasters program to strengthen expertise in combating the growing threat of cybercrime.

The NTU-Mastercard FlexiMasters in Cybersecurity & Digital Trust is a program tailored for mid-career professionals looking to enter the field of cybersecurity.

The modules within the curriculum will be delivered by experienced NTU faculty members, along with Mastercard’s global in-house experts.

9 modules will be conducted by Mastercard experts, with 10-13 hours per module at the start of the program.

NTU’s faculty will be trained to independently carry out the program in subsequent iterations.

Mastercard also announced last December its objective to establish its first Cybersecurity Center of Excellence for the Asia Pacific region, based in Singapore.

“Our ambition to continuously innovate to safeguard trust in our increasingly connected world extends beyond technological advancements to the heart of cybersecurity—nurturing the next generation of professionals. Through this world-leading Masters program we will enrich best-in-class talent to help deliver a safe and trusted digital ecosystem for the benefit of everyone’s future,” Ajay Bhalla, President for Cyber and Intelligence at Mastercard said.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
