This course equips learners with practical knowledge and applied skills in emerging cybersecurity technologies and digital forensics. Through a blend of readings, simulations, case studies, collaborative discussions, and structured bootcamps, learners develop the competency to identify and evaluate new security technologies, interpret malicious code activity, design cyber defense simulations, and grow professionally through hands-on forensic and security bootcamp experiences.

CLO 1: Identify the principles, architectures, and applications of emerging cybersecurity technologies.

CLO 2: Analyse indicators of harmful or malicious activity and appropriate countermeasures using recognised threat intelligence frameworks.

CLO 3: Design a cyber defense simulation using structured modelling frameworks to prevent and respond to cyber attacks.

CLO 4: Evaluate professional growth through documented cybersecurity and digital forensics bootcamp activities.

Emerging technologies: Passwordless authentication; cloud encryption; defensive artificial intelligence; blockchain in cyber security; artificial immunity for malware detection;

Application security: Secure coding practices and processes; security configuration and development; IoT applications security; cloud applications security; mobile applications security;

Cyber defense simulation and gaming: Assessment and maturity frameworks; cyber modelling and simulation. Bootcamps: engaging in various boot camps on cyber security and data forensics.
