Cyber Security is the practice of protecting electronic information from unauthorised access or theft. As the world increasingly relies on technology, Cyber Security has become a top priority for businesses and individuals. There are many types of cyber threats, including viruses, malware, phishing scams, and hacking. To protect against these threats, Cyber Security Professionals implement countermeasures that eliminate, or at least drastically reduce the risk of cyber attacks. In a world where more and more businesses and individuals are relying on digital information, Cyber Security has become an essential part of keeping data safe.
With the rapid evolution of technology and the internet, the need for Cyber Security is more important than ever before. In Australia, there is a current shortage of Cyber Security Professionals, with a forecasted 30,000 additional Cyber Security workers needed by 2026 (CyberCX, 2022).
Studying with Academy Xi means you can pick up practical tools and technical capabilities needed to launch your career as a Cyber Security Professional, all online. Learning online gives you the freedom to choose when and where you learn, and is designed to support your work-life balance.
