This unit is the capstone to the Cyber Security specialisation of the Bachelor of Information Technology course. The unit is designed so that you can demonstrate your learning across the whole course of study before making the transition to the next stage of your career. To this end, you are to conduct a group project including the design and implementation of a cyber security plan that meets the client's requirements. Deliverables will include the formal security plan and configured secure infrastructure as part of an overall portfolio of planning and design documentation, scripts, and rules. In order to deliver a robust solution, you will need to choose and employ an appropriate project management methodology. The delivered infrastructure will undergo stress testing and simulated security attack scenarios.

Every unit is reviewed for enhancement each year. At the most recent review, the following staff and student feedback items were identified and recommendations were made.

Feedback from Teaching Team's feedback

Students lack skills with industry-standard tools needed to facilitate version control, collaboration, and code management for projects, which are essential for their future careers.

Review available options (such as GitHub, DevOps, etc.), make it mandatory for students to use one of these tools for their projects, and include it in the marking criteria for all assessments.

Feedback from Teaching Team and students' feedback

Students encounter difficulties in managing team dynamics, such as dealing with unequal participation and resolving conflicts.

Provide resources on teamwork skills to help students effectively manage team dynamics, including participation and conflict resolution, and incorporate teamwork assessment into the evaluation process.
