About Course

This course is designed as an occupational-specific subject for diploma engineering students to develop foundational knowledge and practical skills in Cyber Security and Ethics. With the increasing reliance on digital systems and networks, understanding cybersecurity principles, ethical considerations, and risk management is essential for IT professionals.

Students will gain the ability to protect computer systems, networks, and data against cyber threats, conduct vulnerability assessments, implement security measures, and apply ethical practices in the cyber world. The course also prepares students for job placement or self-employment in IT and cybersecurity-related fields.
