Address cyber security requirements

This unit teaches you how to identify and respond to cyber security risks in a workplace ICT environment. You will learn to recognise common threats such as malware, phishing, and unauthorised access attempts, then apply policies and procedures to address them. The focus is practical — assessing vulnerabilities, following security protocols, and documenting your actions in line with organisational requirements. ICTICT424 suits people working in, or moving into, IT support or general technology roles where handling sensitive data and maintaining secure systems is part of the job. It is also well suited to workers in other fields who are taking on greater responsibility for their organisation's digital safety and need a formal grounding in cyber security practice. After completing this unit, you will be able to carry out security risk assessments, apply appropriate controls to protect ICT systems and data, respond to security incidents using established procedures, and report on outcomes to relevant stakeholders. These are practical, transferable competencies that apply across industries wherever ICT systems are used.
