About Bsc (hons) Computing (cyber Security) in University of Suffolk

As more time is spent online, the amount of data we create increases. Often this data contains personal or sensitive information that is vulnerable to cyber-attacks. The networks and systems themselves can also be disrupted causing millions in damages and lost revenue.
