About this course

Upskill in the ever-evolving field of cyber security

The Graduate Certificate in Cyber Security and Networks is a course designed for existing professionals who have a background in IT, and wish to upskill in cyber security. If you are transitioning from a non-IT background, the Graduate Diploma in Information Technology (Cyber Security and Networks) will equip you with foundational IT skills, as well as opening a pathway for you to specialise in cyber security.

Along with being able to demonstrate a comprehensive information security and network management discipline knowledge, the design and problem-solving skills you develop will allow you to analyse complex environments, assess alternate solutions, and evaluate outcomes.

Cyber security professionals are in great demand across Australia as government organisations and businesses plan contingencies to deal 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.
