Australian Cyber Network’s Chair on How Australia Can Close Its Cyber Security Gaps

Jason Murrell, Chair and Co-Founder of the Australian Cyber Network, tackles Australia’s cyber workforce crisis, AI threats, and the urgent need for sovereign capability to strengthen national cyber resilience.

As cyber security threats escalate and resources remain constrained, how can Australia build a more resilient and capable cyber security ecosystem?

Jason shares candid insights ahead of Security Edge, where he will join 150 CISOs and CSOs from Australia’s leading enterprise and government organisations to address the nation’s cyber strategy, workforce shortages, and the urgent need for collaboration and transparency.

Closing the cyber security resource gap

Across Australia’s enterprise and government sectors, cyber security leaders are struggling to maintain resilience with limited resources.

Jason highlighted that while budgets were more flexible in the wake of high-profile attacks, the current economic climate has tightened financial support for cyber initiatives.
