The ANU Cyber Institute will be a trusted advisor to government, industry and community, helping people and organisations understand the risks and their own vulnerabilities in the cyber world, and ensuring that cyber enables opportunity and freedom. The Institute will do this by addressing long term problems only visible at the intersection of academia, government and industry, and building a new system of knowledge into the shape and nature of the cyber world. The Institute will take these insights to create the best cyber professionals, equipped to meet the demands of a fast changing social, economic, technological and geostrategic environment in the 21st century. Uniquely, the Institute will integrate its academic cyber program with a real-time security operations centre. The resultant Cyber Hub will be the nexus of research and learning, partnerships and community, in the physical and online world—the first of its kind in the world. The Institute will model a different university experience for its students and its partners.
