According to Deloitte, digital technologies will comprise seven per cent of Australia’s GDP by 2020. Organisations and governments are recognising that cybersecurity experts are vital to protect these assets. Highly skilled cybersecurity specialists are currently in short supply.
We've collaborated with our leading industry partners (including Optus, Australia Post, Cisco, Hewlett Packard Enterprise and Symantec) to design a suite of undergraduate and postgraduate degrees that meet the needs of real-world organisations.
