The Australian Cyber Collaboration Centre illustrates what’s possible when the right mix of organizations comes together under one trusted roof. Julie Bowen, MITRE’s senior vice president for operations and outreach and chief legal officer, commented, “We’ve been very impressed with the cybersecurity ecosystem building in Australia and particularly impressed with the talent and expertise in Adelaide. Planning is already underway for a talent and knowledge-transfer “twinning program” between Adelaide, Silicon Valley, and Washington, DC, providing a unique opportunity for talented South Australians to fast-track a career in behavioral science and cybersecurity, alongside the world’s most established experts. More recently, MITRE has partnered with the University of Adelaide to secure a top talent pipeline.
The service will be offered to critical infrastructure entities in Australia, the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, and New Zealand. The offerings will place behavioral sciences at the forefront of advancing next-generation, human-centric insider risk initiatives built upon MITRE’s 15 years of experience combining behavioral and technical sciences to help organizations more effectively deter, detect, and mitigate rapidly evolving insider threats. MITRE already has partnered with a number of A3C members, including DTEX Systems, a global cybersecurity company founded in Adelaide, now headquartered in Silicon Valley.Īs an example of that partnership, under a non-exclusive licensing agreement, MITRE and DTEX already have announced that they will deliver MITRE Inside-R Protect™, a set of data-driven, community-oriented service offerings to help industry and government organizations elevate their insider risk programs. MITRE initially was attracted to South Australia in 2020 through the formation of the Australian Cyber Collaboration Centre (A3C), a purpose-built facility at Lot Fourteen that enables trusted industry, academic, and government organizations to work together in the interests of Australia’s national security. This is a big win for our space, defense and cyber ecosystem and a huge win for Australia.” I can’t begin to tell you how thrilled I am that MITRE has chosen Lot Fourteen as its international center outside the U.S. Steven Marshall said, “There has never been a more important time for Australia to draw on the expertise of our allies and start building our own capability to defend our people from cyber and non-cyber threats, while also taking advantage of the ‘once-in-a-generation’ opportunity that cybersecurity provides for our economic growth. The center will be operational by the fourth quarter of 2022 and further cements South Australia as the drawcard for space, defense, and cybersecurity in the Asia Pacific region.
