Protect organisations effectively with highly sought-after cybersecurity knowledge

As cyber-attacks become increasingly common and more harmful, businesses and organisations across Australia and the world are looking for qualified professionals who can help protect them and lessen the risk of future attacks.

Demand for skilled and creative cybersecurity professionals is at an all time high across a variety of industries from banking and finance to retail, healthcare, law and government. Learn how to protect against data breaches and malicious attacks using a range of tools and procedures to reduce risks and vulnerabilities in an organisation's network.

Develop the latest skills such as securing networked PCs, encryption, IoT scripting and more, from experienced industry experts.

The environment at Melbourne Polytechnic is really friendly. I chose cyber security as a career because technology is the future; everything relies on technology.
