ThePostgraduate certificate in Blockchain and Business at TECH Global University is an intensive program that teaches students the most appropriate ways to implement blockchain in their companies. 

The program content is designed to promote the development of managerial skills, aimed at making decisions with rigor in a rapidly advancing technological ecosystem. 

Over 300 hours in length, students will analyze a multitude of practical cases through individual and teamwork. It is, therefore, a real immersion in the benefits that blockchain and its various applications can bring to a company. 

The technologies involved in blockchain and space security will be discussed. By dealing with quite concrete and specific concepts such as the ELK stack, the STIX format, the difference between bugs, vulnerabilities and Exploits or the tool Metasploit. Furthermore, the particularities of introducing blockchain to the company will be defined, explaining the most common mistakes, the different typologies that exist or the fields where it is most appropriate. 

The plan focuses on professional improvement to achieve excellence in personal and business management. Understanding the current company needs and, consequently, proposing innovative content. Moreover, the program is supported by an exceptional educational methodology and teaching staff that generate creative and efficient skills.
