The Australian Institute of Cyber Security has strengthened and expanded its course curriculum to better reflect the realities of modern cyber threats, regulatory obligations, and professional practice in Australia. Whether you are new to the field or an experienced practitioner seeking formal accreditation, the updated program offers a clear pathway for every stage of your career.
Foundations of cyber security: $599.00
The Foundations of Cyber Security course provides a comprehensive grounding in cyber security principles, threats, and practical measures. Structured across three progressive modules, the course guides participants from foundational terminology and the history of cyber security through to practical measures including the Essential Eight and real-world case studies. The course now includes a detailed capstone case study on identity theft and phishing, equipping graduates to identify cyber security problems and refer issues to qualified professionals. Completion earns the AICSF postnominal, and up to 50% of the course is recognised as prior learning toward the Accreditation Course.
Cyber security accreditation course (MAICS): $1,299.00
The flagship Accreditation Course is a comprehensive 30-hour self-paced program designed for practitioners seeking the MAICS credential. The expanded curriculum covers risk frameworks including the ASD ISM and NIST CSF, security architecture, identity and access management, business email compromise prevention, and digital forensics fundamentals. A practical capstone module challenges participants to design, implement, and evaluate a cyber security framework in a realistic scenario, building genuine confidence for real-world practice. Graduates earn the MAICS postnominal on completing the course, widely recognised across legal, accounting, government, and corporate sectors in Australia.
Cyber security skills for lawyers: $899.00
Developed specifically for legal practitioners, this course addresses the unique cyber risks facing law firms and in-house counsel. The curriculum covers relevant Australian cyber laws and legislation, solicitors’ professional conduct obligations, risks to clients and third parties, and practical protection strategies including the Essential Eight applied in the legal context. A detailed case study of the HWL Ebsworth breach gives participants direct insight into how a major Australian legal firm was affected and what lessons the profession has drawn from the experience. No prerequisites are required, making this course accessible to any legal professional regardless of technical background.
Cyber security skills for accountants: $899.00
The Cyber Security Skills for Accountants course has been revised to reflect current regulatory obligations under the Privacy Act 1988, the Tax Practitioners Board Code of Professional Conduct, and APRA CPS 234 where applicable. The curriculum guides accounting professionals through the most common cyber threats facing practices, practical incident response planning, cloud accounting security, and client data protection. A case study examining a tax agent credential compromise makes the risks concrete and the solutions immediately practical. Participants will be equipped to identify cyber security risks, implement appropriate protections, and advise clients on their data protection obligations.
