Cyber security engineers are in high demand all over the world as the entire world is changing to digital transformation. Due to the this the data is moved to the cloud which increases the cyber security risks and threats. Hence the organizations require constant vigilance and preparation to thwart attacks and have contingency and disaster recovery plans to protect IP and data. 

Albright Institute’s ICT50220 Diploma of Information Technology (Cyber Security) promotes the foundation skills for cyber security individuals for understanding cyber security awareness and learning to respond to cyber security threats.

You will also develop the skills required to design, build and test network servers, apply IP, ethics and privacy policies in ICT environments, identify, confirm and respond to cyber security incidents, manage network security, utilise design methodologies for secure architecture, lead and facilitate a team, manage ICT infrastructure projects, and develop, implement and evaluate incident response and disaster recovery plans.

Individuals in the ICT roles carry out moderately complex tasks in a specialist field, working independently, as part of a team or leading a deliverable with others. They may apply their skills across a wide range of industries, business functions and departments, or as a business owner (sole trader/contractor).

BYOD stands for bring your own device, and the most commonly accepted BYOD meaning is when students use their own personal devices to connect to the LMS and access what they need to do their tasks and attend classes. This includes data and information that could be potentially sensitive or confidential, so here are some tips to ensure you maximize the security!

One of the most common best practices listed in a BYOD policy is for users to have installed some kind of security software on their personal devices. This includes antivirus software, mobile device management (MDM) software, and unified endpoint management (UEM) software.

✔ Try not to leave your device unattended.
✔ Ensure someone is looking it after if you are briefly absent.
✔ Save your work on an external portable memory.
✔ Bring your device charger: AIBL will ensure to provide power points along all facilities in campus for your convenience.

FAQs

Why is a BYOD policy important?
Enables students to bring your own device that typically already know how to use it and avoid complex security protocols.
What are the best practices of BYOD security?
Use strong passwords, determine the kinds of sensitive data, place mobile security tools on devices, choose time-based lockout features, and determine how to wipe sensitive information off the user’s device.

What is a BYOD example?
The devices used for BYOD could include tablets, personal computers & laptops
