Australia Creates Regional Cyber Innovation Centres

Uploaded on 2020-06-03 in TECHNOLOGY--Developments, GOVERNMENT-National, FREE TO VIEW

The Australian government has announced the standing up of three new cyber-focused innovation hubs in Queensland, which it hopes will "add more firepower" to the national AustCyber network. Aimed at making businesses more secure, as well as driving economic growth and creating new jobs, the Cyber Security Innovation Nodes will be established in Brisbane, Townsville and the Sunshine Coast.

Queensland will become the latest state to play host to an AustCyber-backed cyber security innovation node, with not one but three hubs set to accelerate the burgeoning sector.They will build on AustCyber’s national network of nodes, which now number six across NSW, Victoria, Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania and the ACT.

The not-for-profit organisation funded by the federal government has spent the last three years standing up the nodes to improve cyber capability, innovation and commercialisation. Announcing the new nodes the Minister for Industry, Science and Technology Karen Andrews said the three additional hubs will strengthen AustCyber’s national network of nodes.

AustCyber CEO Michelle Price said Queensland was the first state to commit to establishing three nodes. AustCyber is currently looking for managers to oversee the Brisbane or Townsville nodes. iTnews understands the position for the Sunshine Coast position has already been filled.

The Queensland Innovation Minister Kate Jones said the nodes would improve cyber security skills across the state, while helping to protect local businesses from cyber threats.
