Protect your industrial assets and prepare organizations for tomorrow’s cyber threats.
The accelerated digitalization of industrial processes has profoundly transformed production methods… but it has also multiplied vulnerability vectors.
Today, a cyberattack can paralyze a production line, compromise strategic data, or endanger the very integrity of an industrial site. In a context where critical infrastructure, automated systems, and connected equipment are becoming the preferred target for cybercriminals, organizations must develop new skills, adapted to the world of the Industry of the Future.
The Advance Master® programme in Industrial Cybersecurity Management (MS-MCSI) at Mines Saint-Étienne trains precisely these experts.
Professionals capable of securing industrial systems (OT), anticipating threats, leading incident response, and supporting companies in adopting a resilient, integrated, and tailored strategy.
Recognised by the Conférence des Grandes Écoles (CGE), the MS-MCSI curriculum is built on an exceptional asset:
👉 the DIWII platform – Industry of the Future Demonstrator, located at the Campus Région du Numérique in Lyon-Charbonnières, a true experimentation ground dedicated to industrial cybersecurity (robots, cobots, AMRs, IIoT, industrial networks, private 5G, etc.).
Why choose the MS-MCSI programme?
Strategic expertise at the heart of new industrial risks
Cyber threats targeting industrial environments (OT/ICS) are multiplying:
ransomware, sabotage, sensor tampering, attacks on automated systems, intrusion via connected objects…
In this context, companies are seeking profiles capable of understanding industrial processes and advanced cybersecurity mechanisms.
The MS-MCSI programme trains specialists capable of:
- protecting critical systems and industrial infrastructure,
- analyzing risks and implementing a global cybersecurity strategy,
- detecting, responding to, and remediating cyberattacks,
- securing the integration of new technologies for the Industry of the Future (IIoT, private 5G, edge computing…),
- supporting digital transformation while ensuring business continuity.
An exceptional environment: the DIWII platform
Located at the Digital Region Campus, DIWII is a unique demonstrator in France (see pages 3 & 5 of the brochure):
- robots, cobots, AMRs, automated lines, supervision, IIoT;
- Ethernet, Wi‑Fi, LoRa, Bluetooth networks, industrial private 5G;
- industrial information systems and augmented operator workstations.
Learners can test, simulate, secure, and audit real industrial infrastructure — an unparalleled experience for developing operational expertise.
An action-oriented pedagogy
- Real-world case studies.
- Capstone project.
- Numerous practical scenarios.
- Work-study programme: direct immersion in a company.
- Professional thesis on a strategic issue.
Who is it for?
This programme is intended for:
- Master’s level (Bac+5) graduates, whether recent or changing careers;
- to candidates with a Master’s degree (Year 1) and at least 3 years of professional experience;
- experienced professionals looking to progress.
The Program Director’s Vision
Training experts capable of protecting industry against constantly evolving threats
“Companies are increasingly digitising their production processes. Without appropriate protection, a cyberattack can bring operations to a complete halt and cause major losses.
From the robot to the connected object, every component can become an entry point.
The MS-MCSI programme was designed to meet this growing need for skills by training professionals capable of anticipating, detecting, and countering attacks targeting industrial systems.”
