With a third of Australian businesses having already been the victims of cyber crime and the cost of cyber attacks estimated to exceed $1 billion a year, cyber security experts are in demand worldwide. This demand far exceeds supply across a broad range of industries including Technology, entertainment, telecommunications, banking, finance and accounting, meaning that a cyber security qualification opens the door to a wide range of interesting and rewarding careers. The latest Australian cyber security strategy includes a $230 million plan to enhance online security and underpin collaboration and innovation. In response, Macquarie University and Optus have invested $10 million to establish a Cyber Security Hub, which aims to become the cyber security partner of choice for industry and government while also educating the next generation of cyber security experts.
