Securing Australia’s Cybersecurity Landscape

This research stream predicts and detects security breaches and responds to and recovers from incidents via security capabilities informed by threat intelligence.

The stream aims to develop edge computing that enables lightweight Internet of Things (IoT) devices to connect to the network in a way that is simple, secure and cost-effective.

It will build on the relationship that Federation University’s Internet Commerce Security Laboratory has established with Westpac, Defence Science Institute, CSIRO and Oceania Cyber Security Centre to develop balanced and protective methods required to enable safe, secured and uninterrupted operations of Australian businesses while keeping within established risk tolerances.
