Yes, you can combine Cyber Security with Data Science as specializations in your master's program, especially through interdisciplinary courses that let you customize your studies.

Many universities offer master's programs where you can select electives or modules in both fields. For example, some programs integrate cybersecurity with AI and data analytics, or offer electives like "AI for Cyber Resilience" alongside core cybersecurity subjects.

This combination is highly valued, as data science enhances your ability to analyze security data and develop AI-driven security solutions.
