BSc (Hons) Computing (Cyber Security)

The BSc Computing (Cyber Security) programme delivers a full educational package about security fundamentals alongside networking knowledge and ethical hacking and digital forensics skills which build your strength in cybersecurity. In information technology computing cybersecurity functions as an operational method which uses numerous systems and procedures to safeguard digital information systems against malicious threats while achieving data security and system availability. The practice of protecting computer systems alongside networks and software through IT security or cybersecurity functionally defends against data theft alongside unauthorized access and hardware damage to any combination of data or software or hardware or data disruptions or misdirection. In computer science Cyber Security maintains the protection of digital platforms by implementing technologies which defends against unauthorized access and malicious attacks to ensure system confidentiality and data integrity and platform availability. Computer security, also known as cybersecurity or IT security, is about protecting computer systems, networks, and software from threats like data theft, unauthorized access, or damage to hardware, software, or data, as well as from the disruption or misdirection. The protection of systems along with networks and data through cyber security strategies encompasses three main goals: maintaining information confidentiality and ensuring data integrity as well as maintaining system accessibility. Modern information technology depends on cybersecurity because it protects personal assets along with organizational resources and national infrastructure from malicious activity.
