AUKUS CYBER EDUCATION COLLABORATION

 

Australia’s Social Cyber Academy is shaping efforts to see the country join  UK and  US partners in the International Cybersecurity Education Collaborative (ICEC).

 

ICEC has just issued its report on a  Delegation visit to Australia in March. Delegation host, Professor Glenn Withers, Director of the Social Cyber Institute and member of the Board of the Social Cyber Academy, said that “the Canberra partners involved in the meetings with the UKUS group will advance moves to boost education in cybersecurity”.

​

The ICEC delegates met with senior representatives of education, business and government. The visit was co-organised by Adam Henry, a Senior Fellow with the Social Cyber Institute and a Partner in the  Social Cyber Group. 

 

According to the ICEC Report: “The discussions highlighted both areas where Australia demonstrates notable strengths, such as the cohesion seen in Canberra and the ecosystem approach to education and employment, and shared challenges, such as the fragmentation inherent in federal systems and the complexities of workforce development and professionalisation.”

 

ICEC is supported by the UK’s CSE Connect and the National Cybersecurity Training and Education Centre from the US. A copy of the Report is to be found here.
