In an era where cyber threats are rapidly increasing in frequency and complexity, this program equips learners with the essential knowledge, tools, and practical experience needed to protect networks, systems, and data from malicious attacks.

Through a blend of foundational theory and real-world practice, students will gain a deep understanding of how cyber threats emerge, how security defenses are architected, and how to respond effectively to incidents. The curriculum covers key areas such as cybersecurity fundamentals, network protection, ethical hacking, threat analysis, and incident management.

What You’ll Learn

Our Cyber Security course is carefully crafted to take you from foundational concepts to advanced hands-on skills, covering the full spectrum of cybersecurity principles and practices:

Technologies Covered

Foundations of Cyber Security

Gain a solid understanding of cybersecurity basics — what cyber threats are, how they operate, and why security is critical for digital businesses.

Network Security & Protocols

Learn how data travels across networks and how to protect networks using firewalls, intrusion detection and prevention systems (IDS/IPS), and secure configurations.

Ethical Hacking & Penetration Testing

Explore the world of ethical hacking — learning how attackers think and operate to find vulnerabilities before they can be exploited. Test systems in controlled environments and learn penetration testing methodologies and tools.

Cryptography & Data Protection

Understand core encryption techniques, hashing, secure key management, and how cryptography ensures secure communication and data integrity.

Web & Application Security

Secure web applications by identifying and mitigating common vulnerabilities such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and other OWASP Top 10 risks.

Threat Detection, Incident Response & Forensics

Develop the ability to detect security incidents, respond effectively, and perform basic digital forensics to investigate attacks and preserve evidence.

Security Governance & Compliance

Learn about security policies, risk management frameworks, and compliance standards that organisations must follow to protect data and meet regulatory requirements.

Advanced Security Topics

Explore specialised areas such as cloud security, mobile security, IoT security, and emerging cyber risk trends — preparing you for the challenges of tomorrow’s digital landscape.
