Cybersecurity BTS SIO (IT Services) Revision Sheets
Cybersecurity has become a mandatory transversal discipline in BTS SIO since 2020. You learn to identify threats, harden systems, detect intrusions, and respond to incidents. A skill in very high demand on the market (expert shortage).
Cybersecurity curriculum in BTS SIO (IT Services)
The curriculum covers cryptography basics (symmetric, asymmetric, hash, SSL/TLS), network security (firewall, IDS/IPS, segmentation, VPN), system security (Windows and Linux hardening, privilege management, MFA), application security (OWASP Top 10: SQL injection, XSS, CSRF, authentication), compliance (GDPR, ISO 27001, NIS2), and incident response (SOC, SIEM, threat intelligence).

FAQ — Cybersecurity BTS SIO (IT Services)
Difference between symmetric and asymmetric cryptography?
Symmetric cryptography uses the SAME key to encrypt and decrypt (AES, ChaCha20 algorithms). Advantage: fast. Disadvantage: must share the key secretly. Asymmetric uses a PAIR of keys: public (encrypts) and private (decrypts) — RSA, ECC algorithms. Advantage: no secret sharing needed. Disadvantage: 1000x slower. In practice: both are combined (initial symmetric key exchange via asymmetric, then encryption with symmetric). The SSL/TLS principle.
What is the OWASP Top 10?
OWASP Top 10 is the reference list of the 10 most critical web vulnerabilities, updated every 3-4 years. 2021 version: 1) Broken Access Control, 2) Cryptographic Failures, 3) Injection (SQL, NoSQL, OS), 4) Insecure Design, 5) Security Misconfiguration, 6) Vulnerable Components, 7) Identification/Authentication Failures, 8) Software/Data Integrity Failures, 9) Logging/Monitoring Failures, 10) Server-Side Request Forgery. Any professional web application must be protected against these 10 risks.
Is GDPR really important in BTS SIO cybersecurity?
Yes, GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation, applicable since May 2018) imposes strict obligations on any organization processing personal data: processing register, mandatory DPO in some cases, breach notification within 72h, right of access/rectification/deletion, security by default. Fines can reach 4% of global revenue (Meta case: €1.2bn in 2023). BTS SIO requires knowing the principles and applying them in system design.
