How we are different

- APU’s Cybersecurity Talent Zone features a fully-functional Security Operations Centre (SOC) that allows students to have hands-on cybersecurity operations experience. APU’s students are able to actively analyse occurrences of cyber-attacks and plan counteractive measures towards cyber threats through real-time data. In addition, a full-fledged Cyber Threats Simulation and Response Centre (also known as a Cyber Range) is also located within the zone. The Cyber Range incorporates latest technologies and a military grade cyber-defense system that can simulate highly complex cyber-attacks in a hyper realistic environment, enabling students to understand and formulate defence strategies, and practice the entire chain of cyber defence, while preparing them to deal with real cyber threat attack when it happens.
- With an international student community of more than 13,000 students from more than 130 countries studying in its Malaysian campus, APU offers a truly cosmopolitan learning environment which prepares students well for the global challenges which lie ahead. Just like the beautiful country in which we are located, APU is a rich blend of traditional and modern styles. We have developed a singular character to embrace those things that set us apart. We pride ourselves on the quality of both our teaching and research as well as having a unique living and learning environment.
- Through our Industry-Academia Collaboration (IAC) model, we design programmes in collaboration with inputs from the industry, that are also aligned with the government’s initiatives to address the shortage of skilled talents. Over the years, APU has established collaborations with key industry players worldwide such as AWS, Microsoft, HILTI, CISCO, CompTIA, ISACA and many more; we have been delivering highly-relevant programmes that help us develop skilled and professional graduates for the workforce.
