ITECH2508 Cloud security
Cloud computing is an essential technology in contemporary computing. Its wide use in industry and organisations exemplifies the need to appreciate and understand the security threats in this area. This unit covers the security and privacy aspects of cloud computing, where students will not only gain knowledge to manage and secure mobile devices, data, applications, and infrastructure but also obtain practice in cloud operation and virtual machine management. Students will explore the unique security challenges cloud computing environments pose and learn how to mitigate risks through effective security measures. Through theoretical lectures, hands-on labs, and case studies, students will gain the knowledge and skills necessary to design, implement, and manage secure cloud infrastructures with the help of the cloud infrastructure provided by AWS. The unit aligns with the AWS Cloud Security Foundation Certification requirements.
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.
