Cybersecurity risks are on the increase

Almost every business nowadays has a website, with data systems and networks; meaning that there are numerous entry points for criminals and risk of a cyber security breach. The cyber-crime industry hit £1.5 trillion in profits in 2018, according to a study commissioned by virtualisation-based cyber risk security specialists Bromium, yet it’s predicted that by 2022 there will be a worldwide shortage of 1.8 million information security workers, meaning that the future offers qualified cyber security professionals’ access to excellent career opportunities.

The University of Bolton’s BSc (Hons) Computing (Cyber Security) course is an ideal route into this dynamic, challenging and evolving industry. Our Cyber Security course offers the knowledge and skills needed to anticipate and combat threats to computer software and data, including hacking, theft, viruses and many other forms of cyber risk.
