The Graduate Diploma in Information Technology (Cyber Security and Networks) is a course designed to open up a pathway for individuals from an unrelated field of study to transition into the ICT industry, acquiring foundational discipline knowledge and specialising in cyber security. If, however, you are an existing IT professional and wish to develop skills in cyber security, the Graduate Certificate in Cyber Security and Networks will help you upskill and specialise in cyber security.
Of all the specialties within the Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) industry, cyber security is one of the most dynamic. As malicious cyber security threats – originating from individuals or even nation-states – continually evolve, Australian cyber security professionals need the expertise and leadership credentials to innovate and remain one step ahead.
Cyber security professionals are in great demand across Australia as government organisations and businesses struggle to cope with the escalation of national and global cyber security threats. The Australian Cyber Security Growth Network recently predicted that the Australian cyber security industry is poised to triple in size, reaching a revenue total of $6 billion by 2026.
To reach this level of growth, and cultivate a global reputation in cyber security practice and innovation, the current skills shortage in the industry will have to be addressed. In fact, Australia will need almost 18,000 additional cyber security professionals by 2026 to meet these targets.
