OTHM Level 4 Diploma in Cyber Security

The OTHM Level 4 Diploma in Cyber Security provides learners with a solid foundation in both the theoretical principles and practical skills needed to understand and respond to today’s evolving cyber threats. By exploring key areas of computer science and mathematics, learners build the analytical capabilities necessary to interpret and reason about security challenges. The course also equips them with a working knowledge of core subjects such as IT systems, computer architecture, networks, and operating systems, while offering hands-on experience in developing digital tools like databases and neural networks.

Learners gain insight into common system vulnerabilities and acquire the skills to analyse, mitigate, and recover from modern cyber attacks. This comprehensive approach prepares learners to navigate real-world security issues with confidence and adaptability in both personal and organisational contexts.
