Course Overview
Delivered with the University of New England, our mission is to bridge the gap between education and industry by delivering a graduate certificate with real career impact.
Approved by the ‘Australian Defence Force’, this course is designed to give you the opportunity to:
- Explore risk analysis, threat management, Big Data, the cyber mindset, global cyber security and the law
- Discover the legal and political spectrum of data security
- Learn the tools to affect a positive organisation-wide data security culture
- Become a reflective leader and data practitioner to formulate, implement and evaluate industry-specific investigations, to resolve complex professional problems and inform decision-making
Who's It For?
This graduate certificate is for leaders who are looking to equip themselves with the knowledge and skills needed to implement effective cyber management in any organisation.
This is not a technical qualification. This course is designed to provide you with sufficient knowledge of the different programming languages, systems and infrastructures combined with both local and globally recognised strategies to successfully liaise with various technical experts and stakeholders to make informed management decisions.
This course clearly identifies the various data risks to, and the responsibilities of, every organisation with an online presence. You will focus explicitly on culture, values and dispositions in order to affect change within organisations with regards to best cyber security practice. As no two organisations are the same, each will require unique, multi-faceted and creative solutions that are reached through careful planning of self and others.
