Networking and Security (T)

Networking and Security focuses on network technologies and architecture, and the devices, media and services and operations in different types of networks. Understanding networks and the security implications of data transmission through networks is a critical part of developing digital solutions for a wide audience. The security of data and the implications of networked systems for data privacy are considered from many perspectives, including the technical implementation of secure protocols and the ethical challenges associated with providing encrypted communications and storage for all users.

Roles in industry where knowledge of networking is valued, vary from system and network administrators through to site reliability engineers and cloud infrastructure developers that maintain complicated, distributed software and networks.
