COURSE DESCRIPTION
As cybersecurity threats become increasingly frequent and sophisticated, organisations of all stripes require the expertise to remain secure. This Melbourne MicroCert will give cybersecurity managers the advanced insights needed to develop cybersecurity strategy and manage incident response within organisations. Developed with the Academic Centre of Cybersecurity Excellence (ACCSE), this course is aligned with industry standards. Analyse cybersecurity strategy in organisations: Drawing on real-world case studies, you’ll explore paradigms for protecting organisations from threats (such as prevention, detection, surveillance, deterrence, deception, compartmentalisation), and how to integrate them to build an effective cyber defensive system. Explore how to manage incident response: Examine how organisations can best prepare for attacks and learn from past experiences. Examine the incident response process of detection, containment, eradication and recovery. Learn to strategise to protect IP and IT services and enhance cybersecurity capability. Understand the role of key stakeholders: Explore the role of key stakeholders within an organisation and how they should work together – such as how the Chief Information Security Officer provides strategic context to the incident response team. Apply your knowledge in a case analysis: Drawing on your new knowledge, you’ll conduct a case analysis of an organisation’s strategy and incident response management, and recommend how it could be improved.
Skills and learning outcomes: By the end of this course, you’ll have a deeper understanding of cybersecurity strategy and incident response. You’ll be able to: Analyse the strategy and incident response management practices of an organisation; Construct recommendations addressing the strategy and incident response management deficiencies of an organisation.
