Cybersecurity concerns present a global challenge and race against time. As evident with recent breaches involving Optus and Medibank, cyberattacks are increasingly prevalent, technology innovations are rapidly advancing, and cybersecurity strategies are unable to adequately keep pace. Compounding this challenge is the current lack of a skilled cybersecurity industry workforce, which increases current threat exposure (Summerfield 2022). This Master of Cybersecurity course provides technical cybersecurity knowledge, security projects management as well as cybersecurity policy and governance. This combination of technology and governance is designed to prepare students with the comprehensive knowledge, skills and ethical understanding required to actively engage in the fast-evolving challenges of the digital landscape.
