You will learn techniques and best practices in the analysis of data sets which are useful for crucial organisation decisions. You will explore how data and tools can be used to solve complex, real-world business problems through the application of machine learning, algorithms and other artificial intelligence techniques.
In addition, you will be challenged to understand the ethical and privacy issues related to machine learning and artificial intelligence.
This Micro-credential introduces the principles of cybersecurity and explores the scale of the cybersecurity challenge globally, including the social factors informing individual, organisational and international attitudes.
You will examine risk and governance frameworks and cybersecurity strategies, create a risk treatment plan and an incident response plan, and review and apply cyber prevention strategies and techniques.
The entire development lifecycle of IT systems in a secure environment will be examined, including secure design methodologies, software development models, architecture design and industry ‘secure by design’ standards.
This Micro-credential introduces the concept of the Internet of Things (IoT) and the underlying connections between people, processes and platforms that can drive the digital transformation of organisations.
You will be introduced to the key technological components underpinning IoT and how their implementation can serve a business strategy by increasing organisational efficiencies, improving synergies and driving productivity.
Throughout the micro-credential, you will learn and understand how to articulate how key IoT technologies can improve organisational productivity, recommend strategies for developing the necessary foundational capabilities to support the implementation of IoT technologies within an organisation and create a road map for the implementation of IoT in a business context.
This micro-credential provides a fundamental understanding of cloud computing, how it has evolved from traditional IT infrastructure and the business advantages and disadvantages that it brings.
You will gain knowledge of the different cloud segments and service models, architectures/platforms and cloud deployment models and of the key players active in the market. Learn to assess how the various models can be applied to solve particular business problems and to make ‘fitness for purpose’ decisions based on a comprehensive understanding of user case needs.
This Micro-credential examines the core concepts and principles of blockchain and its emerging importance in areas such as financial services, smart contracts, supply chain logistics and other fields where an open, distributed ledger that can record transactions between two parties efficiently and in a verifiable and permanent way may be useful.
While not offering an examination of the deeper mathematical and cryptographic principles underlying blockchain technology, you will gain an understanding of the fundamentals and potential impacts of blockchain to implement a ‘secure by design’ distributed computing system with high fault tolerance.
