Cyber threats pose significant threats to Australia’s security and prosperity. In Australia, a new cybercrime is reported every six minutes. Cybercrime costs the Australian economy approximately $30 billion per year, and the average cost of a cybercrime to the affected small businesses is now $46,000.

Collaboration and innovation in Australia’s cyber security is essential to protecting our infrastructure, services, organisations and citizens. The University of Canberra undertakes critical and impactful research in cyber security with government and industry partners to help make Australia more resilient to cyber threats, such as Project DFNDR in collaboration with Canberra-based cyber security companies, Ionize and Cybermerc.

Cybervent: A collaborative perspective on navigating the cyber security landscape will showcase UC’s cyber research and collaborations, host important discussions for the sector and offer opportunities for cyber and allied professionals to network and explore future collaborative opportunities. Join us for a dynamic discussion on the ever-evolving landscape of cyber security, learn about some of the latest challenges and trends emerging in academia and industry, and engage with likeminded professionals.
