Information Technology security is increasingly important in today’s technology-based workplace. Deakin’s Bachelor of Information Technology (IT Security) provides students with skills in securing data and data communications as well as investigating, analysing and providing solutions to computer crime that are highly sought-after by employers. The course offers students skills in problem solving, communication and technical capabilities related to Information Technology security as well as providing them with information about the legal, regulatory and ethical contexts in which these skills are used.
The course assists students in completing the material required to become a Certified Information Systems Security Professional.
Students address real-life information technology security problems and have the opportunity to provide solutions for problems posed by external organisations. In addition, the Industry-Based Learning program gives undergraduates an opportunity to work full-time in industry as part of their degree. Many students take up internships with leading information technology companies to gain experience in the workplace and generate valuable contacts in the industry.
