The Postgraduate Diploma in Cloud and Network Security equips learners with a robust and interdisciplinary understanding of modern cloud infrastructures, cybersecurity principles, and network defense strategies. This programme blends theoretical foundations with practical applications critical to securing today’s digital ecosystems.
The curriculum fosters deep technical knowledge in areas such as secure cloud architecture, network forensics, identity and access management, and incident response, with a strong emphasis on legal, regulatory, and ethical contexts. Through hands-on labs, real-world case studies, and simulated cyberattack scenarios, learners develop the skills necessary to design, implement, and manage resilient, secure systems in enterprise and hybrid cloud environments
