Did you know that the ACSC receives, on average, a cybercrime report every seven minutes?
With the rise of high-profile cyber security breaches across Australia, it’s clearer than ever that organisations need talented cyber security leaders on the frontlines.
The Graduate Certificate in Cyber Security Management will equip you with the ability to recognise and tackle cyber threats facing modern organisations. You will learn how to evaluate cyber risks and navigate active cyber security threats, paying close attention to new trends and technologies. Your course will also arm you with the management skills necessary to spearhead new cyber security measures across an organisation.
You won’t just learn what it takes to stop cybercrime, you’ll actually do what it takes. Your graduate certificate priortises your technical training above all else. Your units are designed by real cyber security experts and academics and all your assessments will mimic real-world cyber attacks.
This course is an excellent choice if you’re looking to enter the cyber security workforce or if you’re an existing manager/employee wanting to improve your organisation’s security.
This course is not available to international students.
