Cybersecurity partnership formed in Victoria
Victoria’s Oceania Cyber Security Centre (OCSC) and Israel’s Tel Aviv University (TAU) have signed two memorandums of understanding related to cybersecurity.
The two organisations will share resources to help companies better protect their data and privacy.
This agreement will be beneficial for the eight Victorian universities collaborating with the OCSC, allowing Victorian researchers to visit Israel and learn from some of the world’s most experienced cybersecurity experts.
They will work with TAU’s Blavatnik Interdisciplinary Cyber Research Center, which currently employs more than 200 cyber researchers focusing on data and cyber security research across multiple disciplines.
A new virtual centre will be established, which will have a major focus on privacy, security and data analytics. It will also allow PhD students at Swinburne to share their research and collaborate with experts on a global scale.
“Working with some of the world’s leading experts will help us produce more effective methods for people to protect their privacy and combat online fraud and cybercrime,” Minister for Small Business, Innovation and Trade Philip Dalidakis said.
The MoUs are the first outcomes of the Victorian-led trade mission to Israel for the 4th International Conference on Homeland Security and Cyber.
Partnering with the Australia Israel Chamber of Commerce, Victoria is the first ever Australian state government to lead a data and cyber security trade mission.
