ASD invests $12m in ANU cyber security innovation hub

Students and cyber spies to share new building.

The Australian Signals Directorate will contribute $12 million to a new Australian National University facility focused on data analytics and cyber security.

The innovation centre will be located in a new $45 million, five-story building on the ANU’s main campus in Canberra, expected to be completed in 2018. The building will also bring together the university’s Research School of Computer Science and Mathematical Sciences Institute.

Designed to house 70 people, the cybersecurity hub will be an incubator-style open-plan space that will occupy the entire top floor of the five-story building.

The university hopes the centre will help boost Australia’s cyber security and STEM workforce, forecasting hundreds of students will work on projects in the space each year. For the full article click here
