Cyber Security
Introduction
When it comes to cybersecurity, a perfect storm is brewing as the threat landscape continues to evolve faster than ever, fuelled by innovation, automation, and the drive to the cloud. This is compounded by a cyber skill shortage and the growing reputational, financial and legal implications of a cyber breach for companies. Cybersecurity is an industry that continues to see steady growth as the increasing demand for trained, qualified Cybersecurity professionals continues to surge. Our WIL (Work Integrated Learning) Program prepares students for a career in Cyber by offering cybersecurity specialisation as well as the necessary IT skills and subject matter.
