Course description

The threats posed to nation states, businesses, and individuals by cybercriminals are expanding in reach and developing in their levels of sophistication. The cyber security specialist of the future must possess a working knowledge of the tools at their disposal to detect, deter, defend against, and respond to these growing threats. This course will provide working knowledge of Australian and international regulatory frameworks; the techniques and challenges associated with cybercrime investigation; and the array of criminal justice system responses that are available to address cybercrime offending. Students will be introduced to cybercrime investigation methods and the cyber attack attribution-response processes employed by national agencies. The various roles and responsibilities of national and state intelligence/law enforcement agencies for cybercrime investigation and responses will also be explored, as will questions of privacy, freedom, and security.
