Cisco's NIIN Investment Yields Cybersecurity Gains
Cisco's investment in the National Industry Innovation Network (NIIN) is yielding results across critical infrastructure, Net Zero, hybrid work, and digital transformation. A key outcome is the establishment of a Research Chair in Defence & Critical Infrastructure, led by Prof. Dr. Werner Haselmayr and supported by Cisco's global partnerships.
The partnership between Cisco and the University of Canberra is addressing cybersecurity skills shortages and securing Australia's critical infrastructure. Canberra, recognised for its role in cybersecurity policy, skills, and operations, is at the heart of this initiative.
Cisco's strategic investment in universities aims to accelerate technology adoption and mitigate economic and societal risks. The research chair, integrated into the NIIN, focuses on Defence and critical infrastructure. It enables experimentation with new technologies and applied research. The partnership also aims to expand the NIIN for digital innovation and problem-solving.
Cisco's investment in the National Industry Innovation Network is strengthening Australia's cyber resilience. By addressing skills shortages and securing critical infrastructure, the partnership is meeting current and future demands for specialist cybersecurity skills. The University of Canberra and Innovation Central Canberra have joined the NIIN through this collaboration, further bolstering the network's capabilities.
