Overview

Learn what cybersecurity is and its potential impact on you with the Introduction to cybersecurity short course at Victoria University.

This Introduction to Cybersecurity course uses the Cisco Network Academy 'Intro to Cybersecurity' program. You will gain this core knowledge:

what cybersecurity is and its potential impact on you
the most common threats, attacks and vulnerabilities
insights for how businesses protect their operations from attacks
latest job trends and why cybersecurity continues to grow.

: The recent move to remote, digital work due to COVID-19 has pushed the need for rapid digital transformation across multiple industries and organisations at a national and global level.
Post COVID-19, digitally supported remote-work practices are to become more common place, and have driven the need to have an increased understanding of cyber safety, both personal and professional.
On top of this, the cybersecurity industry is growing rapidly, with the ITPA report estimating Australia would need another 11,000 Cybersecurity specialists over the next decade.
