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 Master of Cybersecurity (Advanced) course is designed to prepare students with the comprehensive knowledge, skills and ethical understanding required to actively engage in the fast-evolving challenges of the digital landscape. Students are encouraged to explore emerging technologies, anticipate future threats, and develop creative solutions that stay ahead of cyber adversaries. Additionally, industry partnerships, guest speakers from industry and industry-based projects will enable exposure to the latest trends and practical insights from the field.
