Diploma in Cyber Security

The first step in defending yourself or your company from potential cyber threats is understanding the foundations of cyber security. This diploma course covers the fundamentals of cyber security. We establish the value of cyber security in the Digital Age and provide an overview of cyber threats and attack vectors. We also explore the legal and ethical issues relevant to cyber security. The course lays out the fundamentals of network security, system security, cryptography, web application security and mobile security.

We explain how you can get on-demand access to computing power, storage space and database services at pay-per-use costs in the cloud computing industry rather than making investments in and owning physical servers and data centres. Moving on from cloud computing, we explore incident response and forensics, ethical hacking, cyber threat intelligence and risk management and compliance.

This diploma course identifies security as the most crucial components of any software system that organisations can use to help protect their systems and their data against cyber threats. This requires that they incorporate security considerations from each project's start and sustain security efforts throughout its existence. We also discuss secure software development, wireless network security, social engineering and physical security, Internet of Things (IoT) security and various legal and ethical aspects of cyber security. This course suits IT specialists, software developers and anyone interested in learning about security, privacy and anonymity. Sign up to earn a diploma that signals your ability to effectively maintain information security and mitigate cyber threats.
