Are you a student looking to get a head start on your cyber security career?
The world of cyber security is an exciting industry to launch your career and the world is in need of more cyber security professionals than ever before!
Many leading experts, including us, see the lack of cyber security education as the problem of cyber security. People need to keep up-to-date with what is happening in this space and how to effectively protect themselves from cyber threats that happen every second of the day around the world.

You don’t have to have a computer science or engineering background to be part of the cyber security industry!
No matter what you are studying, or what you want to study, there is always a place for you in cyber security. What we want to provide for all students are the educational resources to understand how important cyber security education is and what sort of impact you can make in this space.
Cyber security is a growing field and there is a huge shortage of talent and professionals. It is our job to start talking about being a net exporter of cyber security talent here in Australia. In today’s digital age, we are almost always connected to the internet and are constantly threatened by potential cyber attacks. This can be towards our personal data and systems, or towards larger databases and systems that we see at organisations, corporations and professional bodies.
“To be a cyber security student, you must be a rascal!”
— Professor Richard Buckland, Director of SECedu and Professor of Cyber Security at UNSW
