Cybersecurity Principles

<p>This unit explores the methods, motivations, and impacts of cybercrime, from financially driven attacks to technology-facilitated violence. As digital threats grow in scale and complexity, understanding how offenders operate and how systems are exploited is essential for effective prevention and response. Students will examine key cybercrime typologies, the tools and techniques used by cybercriminals, and the evolving tactics that underpin malicious activity in digital environments. The unit also introduces the incident response lifecycle, offering a structured foundation for identifying, managing, and mitigating cyber incidents. Through applied analysis, simulation, and collaborative activities, students will gain practical skills in threat identification, attacker profiling, and response strategy development. Legal and policy frameworks relevant to cybercrime will also be considered. By the end of the unit, students will be equipped to assess the impact of cyber threats, apply key principles of incident response, and develop foundational plans and reports to support organisational resilience.</p>
