With today's advancing technologies comes the increasing threat of cybercrime. The National Cyber Security Strategy makes clear the importance of good network defences in securing the UK. GCU has developed a suite of programs which provide the opportunity to be at the forefront of defending cyberspace from sophisticated malicious attacks and future threats.
Cyber Security and Networks covers the protection of computer equipment, information and services from unauthorised access, change or destruction. It will inform students of the latest technologies, help them understand legal, ethical and professional responsibilities and provide a broad awareness of the industry.
These programs will prepare students for entering the communication networks, security engineering and digital forensics sector, an industry which employs one in three of all jobs within the IT sector. This sector is becoming increasingly complex, with particular need for digital forensics, digital security, ethical hacking, wireless and mobile specialist skills.
