Our Advanced IT Security Engineer Diploma could be your route to a senior job in IT security. It’s intended for those who already have a strong background in IT infrastructure and are seeking to pursue roles in cyber security. In addition to robust security training, this diploma ties in a significant amount of training in cloud computing, which is the present and future of IT infrastructure and an area in which all IT security professionals need to be conversant.
The typical IT security professional has a strong background across several areas of IT, which may include network and systems administration, cloud computing, and even some experience in programming. This diploma ensures that in addition to IT security preparation you will have a strong background in essential cloud-computing concepts and practices.
Graduates of the programme will be in a position to achieve several CompTIA certifications:
• Cloud Essentials+ • Cloud+ • Security+
In addition, our electives offer you the option to prepare for one of the following additional certifications:
