ITECH2507 Vulnerability assessment and penetration testing
This unit delves into Vulnerability Assessments (VAs) and Penetration Testing (Pen Testing), equipping students with advanced skills and deep knowledge to proactively identify and address security vulnerabilities in computer systems and networks. Analyze vulnerabilities, evaluate penetration testing methodologies, and design & execute ethical penetration tests. Explore advanced topics like cloud security and social engineering, then craft effective countermeasures and mitigation strategies. The unit concludes with penetration testing frameworks and report creation, culminating in a project where you apply your skills in a simulated environment.
Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) unit fee
A Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) is one that is subsidised by the Australian Government, which means students only pay the student contribution amount of the tuition fee. CSPs are only available to eligible domestic students.
The student contribution amount depends on the unit and how much funding the Government provides. Each unit is classified into a band based on its discipline (which may be different to your overall course discipline).
2025 student contribution amount: $1,164
2025 grandfathered student contribution amount (for students who commenced before 1 Jan 2021*): $1,164
* If you are a continuing student (who commenced your course before 1 January 2021) you will continue paying the same amount as you would have, had legislative reforms not been implemented for any units that would otherwise have an increased student contribution amount.
