The new Cyber Security CRC was launched by Commonwealth Jobs and Innovation Minister Senator, the Hon Michaelia Cash and Innovation and ICT Minister Dave Kelly, and is a result of outstanding collaboration between industry, research and government.  

The CRC will see a share of Commonwealth funding flow into Western Australia to drive innovation and job creation in this growing industry.

The CRC will see Western Australia cement its reputation as an international leader in cyber security research and education, and enable businesses to capture the economic opportunities through the new cyber security products and services produced.
