Cyber Security Bootcamp: Live Industry Projects

While some foundational knowledge in cybersecurity will be helpful, this program is intended for students who are eager to gain practical understanding of cybersecurity concepts and hands-on experience.

This Bootcamp and Live Industry Project will address a range of technologies and concepts crucial for navigating the security challenges in Australia’s rapid transition to cloud platforms, particularly focusing on AWS and Microsoft Azure environments. Participants will delve into: 

• Cloud Security Foundations and AWS IAM: Covering cloud security principles and a deep dive into AWS services like EC2, serverless architectures, S3 buckets, and detailed exploration of AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM), including keys, security groups, roles, and permissions. 
• Advanced AWS Security and Data Protection: This includes advanced AWS security features, IAM configurations, key management, firewalling, network ACLs, and other AWS security measures, vital for protecting against sophisticated cyber threats and ensuring data integrity and confidentiality. 
• Application Security, Authentication, and Payment Processing: The course will focus on securing applications with mechanisms like OAuth and Single Sign-On, managing AWS authentication protocols, payment processing solutions like Stripe, compliance with PCI DSS standards, best practices for storing and securing user passwords, and exploring social authentication methods. 
• Advanced Security Practices and Real-world Application: Participants will learn advanced security techniques, such as securing API endpoints and implementing access controls, with case studies on recent data breaches focusing on API vulnerabilities. The final project involves building a secure cloud infrastructure integrating payment and user data security, providing hands-on experience in addressing complex security challenges. 

Overall, this Bootcamp and Live Industry Project equips participants with the necessary tools and knowledge to protect digital services and infrastructure in the evolving cloud environment of Australia.

On completion, participants will receive a statement of completion. Candidates completing a live industry project will also gain project experience they may want to add to their portfolio to showcase their skills to potential employers. 

Most sessions will be held face to face to ensure a high degree of engagement and support for learners, however all sessions are also online to cater to students across Australia.
