Bachelor of Commerce with a Major in Cyber Security Governance

About

Cybersecurity governance involves developing, applying and maintaining a framework of standards, processes and activities that together secure an organisation against cyber risk.

The Cyber Security Governance major brings together studies in information technology and systems, business processes, cybercrime, ethics, management, blockchain, accounting and finance, and law and governance, giving you a skill set that maximises your ability to plan for all manner of security challenges and to lead effective responses. You’ll examine key cybersecurity governance concepts and principles from a business perspective. And you’ll acquire the know-how to evaluate and develop frameworks to manage cybersecurity risk and compliance.
