Overview
Cybersecurity Management is for technical professionals working with cybersecurity issues and challenges across an enterprise. Students develop abilities in analysing, planning, and strategising around cybersecurity incidents and solutions.
Building an understanding of the legal regulation of cybersecurity and cybercrime, students examine cybersecurity policy development, explore deficiencies and the current state of cybersecurity governance. In particular, students develop their skills applying techniques such as data analytics for cybersecurity planning and get the opportunity to develop their leadership in managing cybersecurity.
The Graduate Certificate in Cybersecurity Management is designed for future-focused professionals who aspire to become growth-oriented technology leaders and want to develop enterprise leadership and organisational acumen to enable a sustainable, technology-driven future.
Delivered fully online, with part-time study, this course enables students to work full time while attaining the technology management skills to take control of their career. Customising learning to meet career goals, students can immediately apply what they learn to make a greater impact in their current role and prepare for a technology-driven future.
