Course Overview

The primary role of a Cyber Security Technologist is to apply an understanding of cyber threats, hazards, risks, controls, measures and mitigations to protect an organisation’s systems and people. On this apprenticeship, you will develop an understanding of cyber security theory and standards, as well as looking at the legislation around cyber security.
You will identify and follow organisational policies and standards for information and cyber security. You will investigate different views of the future (using more than one external source) and trends in a relevant technology area and describe the implications of this for your organisation with supporting reasoning.
Using logic and creativity, you will keep one step ahead of hackers and cyber criminals. You will research and investigate common attack techniques and recommend how to prevent them, as well as undertake a security risk assessment of a simple system. As you progress through your apprenticeship, you will learn how to configure technology components and devices for layered security
Throughout your apprenticeship, you will develop an understanding of why cyber security matters in both a business setting and society. You will learn how cyber security concepts are applied to an ICT infrastructure, including the fundamental building blocks and typical architectures required and be able to identify some common vulnerabilities in networks and systems.
