This program serves as an introduction to the field of cyber security and a pathway into the Bachelor of Cyber Security and Behaviour. This field of study involves psychological theory and research to understand cyber security issues in the context of decision-making, human errors, social influence, organisational cultures and vulnerable populations. As cyber threats become more sophisticated and damaging across all types of organisations, cyber security has become one of the nation’s top priorities. Students will build a foundation in conventional computer and network security concepts and skills which will prepare them for further study or entry level IT positions.
