Defend the digital domain

Cyber attacks are a serious threat—for governments, law enforcement agencies, companies and NGOs alike. Digital system breaches can have disastrous, even life-threatening impacts and cybercrime costs the world trillions a year. As a result, cyber security skills are in high demand worldwide, with thousands of jobs added yearly in Australia.

What will you do?

You will gain:

• critical foundations on complex cyber security needs and considerations across multiple industries
• high-level technical skills and the ability to apply them in real-world contexts, including in your intended or existing domain
• the ability to critically analyse and evaluate relevant data and technology
• the necessary foundation of skills and understanding to embark on work or further study in cyber security

Supporting the certificate’s alignment with real-world workplace practice, all assessment will be project and assignment-based.
