The Cyber Security Master Degree course is designed for those who wish to extend their capability for an accelerated early career in cyber/information security. With the dramatic increase in high-profile cyber security incidents reported in the media, the demand for highly skilled security professionals is growing significantly as businesses across the globe seek to protect their networks and data. You will learn how to identify new and existing cyber threats and determine methods and processes to minimize attacks. Gain skills in a real-life business context, by cracking passwords and wireless networks and testing web applications for vulnerabilities and security breaches.
Cyber security is a priority for governments and organisations throughout the world. We’ll work together to explore how organisations and individuals can take action to protect themselves online from cyber-attacks. We’ll begin by understanding networks and operating systems, how they work and the strengths and weaknesses of them. You’ll then think like a hacker, working from the inside out, as you recognize the threats to an organisation and its resources, and learn to implement and test secure systems.
