First, your interest is the number one decider. Second is your area of capacity. Third is your drive towards the goal. If you are able to answer these, I will shed more light on the two based on your interest. |

ps3o:why not just shed more light on it so it will help me making more informed decision? How do you expect a blind man to lead himself? Ps3o, I don't think you can study both as first degree in Nigerian uni o else private uni or abroad, not sure though. |

Blastedholligan: Let us drill a bit: Cybersecurity is the protection of internet-connected systems, including hardware, software and data, from cyberattacks. In a computing context, security comprises cybersecurity and physical security -- both are used by enterprises to protect against unauthorized access to data centers and other computerized systems. In summary, cyber security is the practice of protecting systems, networks, and programs from digital attacks. What job can it offer? *Information security analysts; *Network administrator; *Security manager; *Security engineers and a host of others Now an opener into Software Engineering: Software engineering is a detailed study of engineering to the design, development and maintenance of software. Deep insights go this way: The term is made of two words, software and engineering. Software is more than just a program code. A program is an executable code, which serves some computational purpose. Software is considered to be collection of executable programming code, associated libraries and documentations. Software, when made for a specific requirement is called software product. Engineering on the other hand, is all about developing products, using well-defined, scientific principles and methods. We can summarize it to be a branch of engineering associated with development of software product using well-defined scientific principles, methods and procedures. The outcome of software engineering is an efficient and reliable software product. Jobs that software engineering can offer: Application/ Software Developer; Programmer; Backup Engineer; Cloud engineer; Software tester; Frontend engineers; Business analysts; Telecomm engineer; Support engineer and a host of others. Clear Difference between Cyber security and software engineering: Cyber security: they simulate, monitor and protect networks that connect computer and related. Software Engineering: the applications or programs that communicate the network with the other computers to carry out specific functions as tailored by the software developer. I think this little will help you to decide on what you will like to go for. If it were in America and the likes, you can have them as Major and Minor courses. 4 Likes 1 Share |
