Bachelor of Global Security - Cyberspace, Policy and Security

Murdoch University

Cybersecurity is the practice of deploying people, policies, processes and technologies to protect systems and information.

In a world that increasingly relies on information technology, cybercrimes have emerged as a major global security threat – costing around $1 trillion a year.

The Cyberspace, Policy and Security Major provides you with critical understandings of contemporary challenges to security, particularly how transnational crime, terrorist organisations and state actors seek to exploit our reliance on information technology.

This major combines technical, security and criminology units to provide students with highly-relevant professional skills in security, intelligence, policy, governance, investigation and law enforcement. You'll gain understandings of the architecture, operation and protection of IT systems, consider critical issues in the governance and implementation of cyber security, explore the roles of government and industry in ensuring cybersecurity, and identify the processes by which cybercrime is investigated and prosecuted.
