Cyber security e-learning now available
To support Institutes of Higher Education and University Colleges in developing staff awareness and capability to mitigate the risk of cyber security breaches, TEQSA has made available new e-learning modules:
- Enhancing cyber security awareness – suited to all interested staff. This module offers an introduction to cyber security in higher education and explores ways to protect information and reduce the risk of cybercrime.
- Cyber security for senior leadership – suited to senior leadership. This module provides an introduction to cyber security in Australian higher education, including supply chain and cyber risks and reporting incidents.
TEQSA has collaborated with RMIT University’s Centre for Cyber Security Research and Innovation (CCSRI) to develop these modules and the associated resources. They are an adaptation of resources which were created at the request of the Department of Education for Australian universities.
The online modules are self-directed and self-paced. They can be accessed free of charge through the TEQSA website with an Australian higher education provider email address, or downloaded and embedded into a provider’s e-learning system.
