Research into Cyber Security

The need for cyber security education and knowing how to protect yourself online is becoming increasingly important, particularly for children who have never known a world without the internet.

Researchers from Edith Cowan University (ECU) and the Security Research Institute (SRI) are developing a digital cyber security licence for Australian students and teachers.

“This licence would be like a swimming certificate. Each student moves up in levels based on their evidence of achievement according to set criteria,” ECU’s School of Education Associate Professor, Nicola Johnson said.

 Associate Professor, Nicola Johnson joins Fiona Bartholomaeus to discuss research into cyber security.
