Graduate Certificate in Cyber Security

TAFE Queensland

Cyber Security concerns present a global challenge and race against time. As evident with recent breaches involving Optus and Medibank, cyber attacks are increasingly prevalent, technology innovations are rapidly advancing, and Cyber Security strategies are unable to adequately keep pace. Compounding this challenge is the current lack of a skilled Cyber Security industry workforce, which increases current threat exposure (Summerfield 2022).

The number of tech workers focusing on Cyber Security is expected to grow from 24,700 in 2022 to 48,000 by 2030. There will also be some 36,000 workers in Cyber Security in the broader workforce by 2030 (ACS Australia's Digital Pulse, A new approach to building technology skills 2023 by Deloitte).

This entry level postgraduate certificate course in Cyber Security is focused on managing Cyber Security risk and incidents, building ethical defence mechanisms and developing applied knowledge. You can choose to specialise in either Technology or Governance. On completion of this course, you can fast track your way into the Master of Cyber Security.
