In today’s digital world, our lives are heavily reliant on the internet. We know this. From everyday tasks like banking and shopping to socialising and working, our online presence is constant. But with this convenience comes risk. Cyber threats are ever-present, ready to exploit weaknesses and compromise our security. That’s why cybersecurity is a rapidly growing industry – and why people with cyber security skills are in demand. And cyber security short courses are the ideal way to add value to your organisation, or take the first step into a new career.
After all, as Dr Michael Bewong, lecturer in computing at Charles Sturt and cyber security researcher, points out…
“A career in cyber security has never been more crucial and rewarding. We live in a world where the value of 0’s and 1’s has never been more important. A world where digitalisation is the norm – bank transfers, digital licences, online shopping, social media, cryptocurrency, virtual meetings, self-driving cars, the Internet of Things and so much more. We live in a world that even has a digital version of the black market where anything and everything goes. It is no understatement to say that a career in cyber security is one of the most important jobs you could do.”
That’s why we’ve developed a suite of cybersecurity micro-credentials.
