About
Cyber security involves the creation, analysis, testing and operation of secure computing devices, computer networks and applications. It relies on technology, people, information and processes to enable secure operations in the context of adversaries.
As we conduct more of our social, consumer and business activities online, there is a growing demand for cyber security professionals to manage our digital life and economy in a trusted environment. In addition, the number of cyberattacks is increasing globally across all sectors of society, in particular government, banking, insurance, health, telecommunications, entertainment, automation, and artificial intelligence.
As a cyber security professional, you will play a critical role protecting data from unauthorised access, as well as working with colleagues to detect cyberthreats and actively combat cybercriminals.
You will study subjects in coding, database security, web security and cyber security risk management. The Graduate Certificate in Cyber Security provides a solid foundation which will help you to solve practical cyber security problems and learn how to keep pace with innovations in cyber security technology.
This course is taught fully online and over a convenient quadmester system, allowing you maximum flexibility in when you commence and complete your studies.
