Summary

The threat of cyber security attacks is increasingly apparent to individuals and organisations across the globe.

From hacking to phishing, scamming to grooming, and botnets to cyber-terrorism, the variety and ingenuity of exploits appear to expand constantly.

In this context, this programme addresses system vulnerabilities and the preventative measures that may counter cyber-attacks, including steps to repair systems weaknesses, prevent repeat occurrences, and collect and examine digital evidence using a variety of digital and mobile forensics tools such as FTK and Cellebrite.

You will also develop a detailed understanding of comprehensive cyber risk management practices for ensuring overall security.

This course is also available as atwo-year master's with an industrial placement year.

The embedded industrial placement offers a unique opportunity to apply the skills learned on real-life projects. This, in turn, prepares graduates of the programme for successful careers in both the information security and digital forensics professions.
