Handbook

The Master of Business Administration in Cyber Security Leadership provides the opportunity to complement the core of the MBA program with the fundamental skills, knowledge and attributes required of C-suite executives, managers and leaders wishing to enhance their understanding of cyber security or pivot their careers towards information security specialisations.

Cyber risk has risen rapidly in importance in recent years and is considered to be one of the most important risks to organisations in the foreseeable future. This risk has escalated as the private sector and government are moving increasingly to widely adopt new technology to enable remote working practices. Businesses and the government can expect that sophisticated nation-state and criminal cyber-attacks will be increasing and must respond accordingly by deepening their understanding of cyber threats and defences.

The specialisation will help students trace a clear line from how they manage their information security, through contract management and legal negotiations through to the concept of organisational resilience. These threads will focus on privacy and personal information held by organisations for their employees, affiliates, and customers (or citizens).
