(ISC)², a not-for-profit membership body of certified information and software security professionals, and the Australian Centre for Cyber Security Strategic Alliance are partnering to strengthen cybersecurity education in Australia and Asia-Pacific region.
Through the agreement, (ISC)² will provide UNSW students and professionals in Canberra with educational courseware to help them gain the knowledge, skills and industry certifications needed to enter the cybersecurity workforce.
UNSW Canberra, on the other hand, will provide subject matter experts to assist with the delivery of (ISC)² training courses throughout the region.
The (ISC)² Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP®), Certified Cyber Forensics Professional (CCFP) and Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional (CSSLP) CBK, a compendium of information and software security topics, will be incorporated into the existing cybersecurity program curriculum of the university.
ACCS will provide technical advice to (ISC)2 on further expanding cybersecurity education and thought leadership throughout Asia-Pacific.
“We believe that with this strategic alliance, we will together build a cohort of cybersecurity workers to serve as thought leaders in legal, policy and technical domains,” said Prof. Jill Slay AM, director of ACCS at UNSW Canberra.
UNSW Canberra is a campus of UNSW Australia that has provided high-quality undergraduate education to the Australian Defence Force at Australian Defence Force Academy (ADFA) and postgraduate education to the broader community for half a century.
It is an interdisciplinary cybersecurity research and teaching center at UNSW Canberra, which builds on the close relationship with stakeholders in Australia and internationally – industry, government, legislators, civil society and professional bodies.
“Building a global workforce requires a strategic, collaborative approach to education. By teaming up with UNSW Canberra, (ISC)² will be in a stronger position to educate information security professionals in Australia and ultimately, throughout Asia-Pacific,” said Clayton Jones, managing director, Asia-Pacific, (ISC)².
