Course summary

As more people spend more time online, the amount of data they generate grows. If the organisations and companies do not have secure information systems, that data could get into the wrong hands – with potentially dangerous results. This cyber security course is designed to train tomorrow’s security professionals, combining fundamental concepts and principles with exposure to new technologies and solutions. You will gain a practical understanding of key issues relating to the design, analysis and implementation of modern IT security systems.
