Hi there, We've got a lot to be thankful for in Victoria (even though we're still in lockdown!).
As the Government identifies more ways that they can support the nation's economic recovery, cyber security is the flavour of the year and will continue to be a large focus for years to come.
Read below for a number of upcoming events including a Land
Systems Briefing tomorrow and a Cyber Resilience Seminar we are hosting with THALES on the 16th of September. These are all helpful resources for our members to help you understand and navigate the Defence Industry.
The Defence Industry is where a large portion of work packages (to boost the economy) are being continuously rolled outl; as well as grant funding opportunities to boost Sovereign Industry Capability (SIC). There has never been a better time to secure your piece of the Defence investment (proposed at half a trillion + dollarsover the next decade!)... especially if you are in the IT or Cyber Security sectors.
