Defend organisations in an age of persistent threats
Online only
Cyber attacks cost the global economy trillions annually. This MSc develops practitioners who can protect networks, respond to breaches, and embed security culture across organisations. You will study penetration testing methodology, digital forensics, secure software development, and security governance frameworks including ISO 27001 and NIST CSF. Labs run in isolated virtual environments with realistic attack scenarios.
Labs run in isolated virtual environments — legal and ethical scope is taught before any offensive technique. You will complete a full breach-response capstone from detection through board reporting. Content aligns with CompTIA Security+ and CEH knowledge domains.
Faculty spotlight
Professor Marcus Chen, ex-CISO in financial services, leads Security Governance; Dr. Yuki Tanaka runs red-team/blue-team intensives.
