Cybersecurity is always in the spotlight, whether it’s a story about data breaches, election hacking or phishing scams that cost people more than they can afford to lose.
With increasing levels of cybercrime, governments and businesses compete for experts with the right mix of technical and applied skills to secure their organisations against the growing cybercrime threat.
Macquarie's technical Master of Information Technology in Cyber Security provides up-to-date knowledge and practical training for a successful career in the burgeoning field of cybersecurity, which is facing a global shortage of skilled professionals.
Completing this degree will arm you with technical skills in cryptography, networks, artificial intelligence and mobile data communications.
