New postgraduate certificate in computer security and forensics

The Open University and 7Safe have joined forces to develop a postgraduate certificate designed to provide a learning and assessment framework for people working in IT Security who have completed 7Safe Security and Forensics training courses.

This postgraduate certificate will offer Computer Security and Forensic professionals the opportunity to evaluate their previous Continuing Professional Development (CPD) and the impact that it has had on their practise; to identify how to share learning from it within their organisation; and to plan for effective future CPD.

The qualification is also designed to offer professionals the wide range of skills needed to understand, document and manage strategic and operational aspects of their organisation's information security, including the legal, social, ethical, professional and organisational issues at its heart.
