What does this mean for a new leader?

Release 4 added four cyber-security-awareness electives to Group B: BSBXCS406, BSBXCS407, BSBXCS408 and BSBXCS409. They did not become compulsory core units. The release change expands options without making every course a cyber-security program.

How can you prepare or compare?

Ask whether any of these units are selected and why they fit the provider’s package. Keep their role as electives clear, and do not infer a separate specialist certification. A current release number alone does not show which optional units you will take.
