See CRICOS-registered alternativesThis subject examines cybersecurity through a human factors lens across societal, industry, and organisational contexts. Students explore how ethical, social, and psychological factors shape human behaviour and cyber risk, and how these vulnerabilities arise and are exploited. They analyse cybercrime business models and global threats, with a focus on how human factors contribute to attack success and organisational risk. Building on this, students apply human factors principles to design organisational cybersecurity solutions, including cultural, communication, and policy strategies aligned to relevant frameworks. Through this progression, students develop professional skills in evaluative judgement, teamwork, and communication to deliver practical, human-centred cybersecurity solutions.
