This programme is a short course, delivered as part of a longer programme of a longer HNC or can be completed as a standalone module. It is delivered through blended learning which means a combination of face to face and online delivery sessions. This unit aims to develop students’ knowledge and
understanding of cyber threats and vulnerabilities, cyber defence techniques,
and incident response. Students will explore fundamental principles and
advanced concepts, terminologies, models, and hardening methods. They will
evaluate various types of malicious activities, potential targets, and the role
everyone plays in maintaining cyber resilience.
Upon completing this unit, students will have explored the
nature of cybercrime and cyber threat actors, examined roles and
responsibilities related to information assurance, assessed threats to and
vulnerabilities in ICT infrastructure, and investigated strategic responses to
cybersecurity threats.
