Network and IT Security

Overview

The increasing reliance on digital technology in today's society has led to a growing demand for network and IT security skills. This competence is essential for organisations to protect themselves against future cyber-attacks and to mitigate the impact of potential breaches.

The curriculum places a deliberate emphasis on fundamental security practices, including risk assessment and vulnerability analysis.
