The School has strong links with the general computing industry and specifically the cyber security profession. These links include the National Cyber Security Centre, Kaspersky and the Chartered Institute for Information Security Professionals, and seek to embed relevant real-world industrial problems directly into teaching. The programme is supported by an Industrial Advisory Panel that provides feedback on the industrial relevance of its taught material. Cyber Security is now widely recognised as an International priority with jacking, malicious code and data theft being just three of the many reasons why it is vital in the design, development and implementation of today’s It systems. This course delivers a view of security threats and solutions, alongside an essential background in wider Computer Science concepts. This is particular important in light of the National Cyber Security Strategy 2016 to 2021 and the widely recognised shortage of skills in the market place. Students will be able to make use of links to professional and industry bodies including IISP and the ISACA. There is the ability to pursue industry-recognised professional certifications such as the EC-Council’s Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) as well as benefiting from specialised course material covering the legal and regulatory aspects of Cyber Security.
