We are redirecting the attention of our Node network, which is supported by the Federal Government through the Industry Growth Centre initiative. Instead of focusing on specific regions, our new objective is to establish a more comprehensive nationwide model that supports under-represented groups, remote areas, and major population centres across Australia. Through this updated approach, our goal is to make a significant impact on a national scale by connecting cyber security businesses with important government stakeholders.
The AustCyber Innovation Network is being established in both metropolitan and regional areas, sparking innovation and building cyber security communities throughout the country. It will be a collaborative platform for everyone in the sector, including you.
Guiding this initiative is an industry co-design team led by AustCyber. This diverse group of cyber security experts will collaborate and co-create solutions to drive the AustCyber Innovation Network forward. Through a series of workshops and virtual meetings, the team will examine the current state of the cyber security industry in Australia and develop strategies to amplify the programs that are designed to grow the industry.
Importantly, we're also introducing Cyber Security Ambassadors who'll play a critical role in this national network’s success while showcasing Australia's cyber security expertise on the global stage.
