ITECH7611 Introduction to Cyber Security Fundamentals and Practices
The explosion of information and communication technologies, systems, applications, and networks have enormous benefits to government and industry. However, there are also increasing incidents of major cyber-attacks that have numerous threats to privacy and security. In this unit we will cover fundamental concepts of cyber security, risk mitigation mechanisms associated with the implementation and management of IT infrastructure. You will learn real-world applications of cyber security and a solid foundation in theory and practice to support your future career. The unit aligns with requirements of the Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) certification.
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.
