About this unit
Networks for the transportation of information are age old and the current and future integrity of these systems require specialist knowledge and expertise, from the physical constructs to the frameworks that underlie the transport and security protocols. Management of networks and cyber security frameworks are fundamental to the protection of identity and data.
This unit introduces students to the foundations of cryptography, network fundamentals, security tools and software. This unit explores how systems and humans combine to become a cyber security threat forming the basis of control and standards frameworks. Students also examine a broad range of tools that are used in the infiltration, protection and monitoring of cyber networks.
