Offensive Cyber Security and Penetration Testing

In this subject, you will learn about the procedural nature of cyber security. You will analyse the effectiveness of threat and vulnerability mitigation through use of contemporary cyber security frameworks. You will be explore mitigation strategies, operational controls, and countermeasures needed to address various threats and vulnerabilities from both technical and organisational perspectives. Upon completion of this subject, you will be able to apply your cyber security knowledge to communicate, support, and design improvements to business and personal cyber security posture (i.e. cyber security strength and readiness).

Defensive Cyber Security Procedures

This subject introduces you to industry approaches taken in threat intelligence and assessment. The subject will be task-focused and will allow you to explore the threat intelligence process with a focus on three key areas: understanding industry threat landscapes; legal and ethical considerations for penetration testing; and understanding and assessing penetration testing processes within industry contexts.

Cyber Threat Intelligence

This subject introduces you to the concept of information security and the legal and ethical considerations that organisations and individuals must address to implement sound information security. The subject focusses on industry best practice within the context of securing, storing, and sharing information and will explore the complex nature of information security, contextualising it within the threats that exist within our local and global environments.This subject offers students the foundational knowledge required to function as an information security practitioner across a range of industries and levels, including government and the public sector. This subject also introduces learning through practice by exposing you to authentic learning experiences. These experiences are placed at the centre of learning and assessment, so you have the opportunity to develop the skills, knowledge and behaviours necessary to respond to industry, community and/or global needs.  You will be introduced to:  <ol><li>A range of methods, tools, techniques, and approaches to practice.</li><li>Principles and perspectives such as values, ethics, empathy, and leadership in real world scenarios .</li><li>Reflection and deliberative thinking as a means of developing knowledge, skills, attitudes, and aspirations .</li><li>Ways of understanding problems and developing solutions through active inquiry.</li></ol>

In this subject you will learn about three key areas of data analytics in cyber security. Using a series of tools to develop your cyber security analytical tool kit, you will begin by conducting basic data analysis using Excel and build an analytical dashboard in Excel which will allow you to dynamically update the dashboard based on the dataset entered. With these skills you will then transition to network data analytics for threat hunting and incident response, culminating in an assessment on post-infection threat analysis. Finally, you will undertake active network monitoring and analysis using cutting edge industry tools, that will form your final assessment. The progression of practical skill development in this subject will add progressive complexity to your understanding of data analytics scoped to cyber security and align with a Security Operations Centre (SOC) analyst&#39;s role.

Learn how to collect, analyse, and present data for cybersecurity. You’ll explore analytical techniques and tools that identify patterns, anomalies, and potential security breaches. Harness the power of data to protect organisations from cyber threats.
