Welcome
Dear colleagues
Thank you for your interest in this workshop today. The Department of Prime Minster and Cabinet has lent its
support to our deliberations in order to help inform development of policy in this area and to promote public
discussion of the issues. We are grateful for their partnership.
The Australian government is to be commended for its massive commitment to new university research
in cyber security, promising $50 million over seven years to a new Cooperative Research Centre involving
leading universities and partnering with industry. The private sector has committed at least as much over
the same period. One of the questions before us today is an assessment of the equivalent new spend
needed for cyber security education, beyond the $1.9 million already committed for university-based centres
of excellence. We understand that there are plans for other new cyber security education initiatives from
government and industry to be announced in the near future.
Any decisions on change to Australian education institutions and curriculum for cyber security need to be
evidence based. This workshop, and the three year project that it is launching, aim to stimulate production of
that evidence base through advanced scholarly research. For Australia, very little such research exists. But we
are not alone. Most countries, including the United States, have had to move with considerable determination
to stimulate such research. Innovations, such as the U.S. Army Cyber Institute and the Oxford University
Doctoral Training Centre, offer us important inspiration. Australia’s Deakin University, Box Hill TAFE and my
own university have also developed innovative programs. Our role as scholars, and partners in scholarly
research, is to help evaluate these initiatives and assess broadly their impact, against a fully developed
picture of what is actually needed, both in Australia and internationally. After all, Australian cyber security
education is an inevitably international enterprise.
Thank you for joining this research workshop to contribute to a voyage of rediscovery and reinvention of
cyber security education.
