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.
