Cyber Security Pilot to Bolster Small to Medium Business Against Hack Attacks

23 February 2021

In an Australian first, the Cyber Security Cooperative Research Centre (CSCRC) will lead a ‘hands on’ pilot project focused on uplifting cyber security across Australia’s small to medium business sector (SMEs).

The pilot, which is being launched in Adelaide today, will involve six South Australian SMEs across a broad range of critical sectors, from medical services to satellite technologies, measuring their baseline cyber security and providing practical, cost effective uplift solutions over six months. 

A collaboration between the CSCRC, CyberCX, CSIRO’s Data61 and the Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC), and supported by the Government of South Australia, the pilot will provide a blueprint for SME cyber uplift that can be rolled out across the nation.
