Course outline

Cybersecurity concerns present a global challenge and race against time. As evident with recent breaches involving Optus and Medibank, cyberattacks are increasingly prevalent, technology innovations are rapidly advancing, and cybersecurity strategies are unable to adequately keep pace. Compounding this challenge is the current lack of a skilled cybersecurity industry workforce, which increases current threat exposure (Summerfield 2022). This entry level postgraduate certificate course in cybersecurity is focused on managing cybersecurity risk and incidents, building ethical defence mechanisms and developing applied knowledge. Students can choose to specialise in either Technology or Governance. On completion of this course, students can fast track their way into the Master of Cyber Security.
