The cybersecurity component focuses on protecting these systems from unauthorised access, attacks, vulnerabilities and other digital threats.<\/p>\n<p>A modern programme can cover areas such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Advanced networking<\/li>\n<li>Network security<\/li>\n<li>Linux system administration<\/li>\n<li>Windows server infrastructure<\/li>\n<li>Network routing<\/li>\n<li>Cyber risk

how to protect them.<\/p>\n<p>This is where the combination of <strong>networking + cybersecurity<\/strong> becomes valuable.<\/p>\n<p>Students can learn how networks are built, how vulnerabilities arise, how attacks can be detected, how incidents can be investigated and how security controls can be implemented.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\"
