Abstract

The Ecuadorian higher education system is regulated by the Higher Education Council (CES), a body that establishes the guidelines and directives for the academic offer by higher education institutions (HEIs). The Regulation of Harmonization and Nomenclature of Professional Titles and Academic Degrees conferred by the Higher Education Institutions of Ecuador, issued by the CES, in its annex 2 details the degrees of the degree and postgraduate level that the HEIs can offer. Until mid-2021, this document did not allow a university to offer a Master's Degree in Information Security. To achieve this, the Salesian Polytechnic University has prepared the relevance study presented in this work, which demonstrated the importance of professionals who have this degree. The CES verified the importance of this qualification and decided to include it in the mentioned regulation. The study contemplates an epistemological justification with theoretical foundations and supported by an analysis of problems and needs related to the field of information security.
