Cybersecurity is the protection of internet-connected systems such as networks, devices, programs, and data from cyber-attacks or unauthorised access. The World Economic Forum lists cyber-attacks as 5th in the top 10 global risks and this can affect an individual’s business or work in a number of ways. Cybersecurity is therefore used by individuals and businesses to protect against unauthorised access to data centres and computerised systems. DBS cybersecurity courses are part of a new suite of professional diplomas and courses that provide students the opportunity to upskill and enhance skills for the work environment.

Our Professional Diploma in Cybersecurity looks at the four main areas of security:

• Web
