FOREWORD FROM AMBASSADOR TOBIAS FEAKINAn open and free cyberspace is the key to economic growth and prosperity – for Australia, our region and the world.

We cannot achieve this without a strong and resilient cyber security posture. Nor can we act in isolation – cyberspace is a network and we are only as strong as our weakest link.

The global cyber security market is forecasted to be worth US$250 billion by 2026 and Australia is well positioned to take advantage of this rapidly expanding marketplace.

Through close partnerships between government and industry, we have cultivated a strong, vibrant and globally competitive cyber security sector in Australia – we are excited by the opportunity to use this expertise to drive business opportunities overseas.

Australia is establishing itself as a location of choice for global cyber security companies operating in the Indo-Pacific – the world’s economic powerhouse and home to just over 50 percent of Internet users. Australia and its cyber security sector are ideally positioned to enable industry to take advantage of the huge potential this region has to offer.

Indeed, with a reputation for excellence and innovation, the Australian cyber security sector has already seen increasing domestic and regional demand for its cyber security solutions, and is driving significant jobs and investment – in Australia and overseas.

We will continue to look for opportunities in key overseas markets – this mission being a shining example.

I am honoured to be leading and participating in the 2019 Australian Cyber Security Mission to the USA. The Mission includes 44 delegates, 26 cyber security companies, four universities, and two ecosystem enablers. The participants represent some of the most vibrant and innovative players in Australia’s cyber security industry and I encourage you to meet with them all.

We are eager to work with you to promote and grow Australia’s cyber security industry – one that is essential to our future security and prosperity.

Dr Tobias Feakin Ambassador for Cyber Affairs

MESSAGE FROM MICHELLE PRICE, CEO OF AUSTCYBERAustralia’s cyber security sector is the newest sector of our economy. It is also the foundation of both our national cyber resilience and prosperous economic future, driven by digital change. Innovative Australian companies are delivering this through growth strategies aligned to the heritage of Australian technological success: build local and deliver global.

In January 2017, AustCyber – the Australian Cyber Security Growth Network – was established to capitalise on the economic opportunities presented by cyber security as a central pillar of our nation’s economy. AustCyber, jointly with government partners at Austrade and the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, is taking a collaborative approach to securing a prosperous, cyber resilient future for our nation.

AustCyber’s mission is to grow a robust and competitive cyber security sector that delivers economic, as well as security, benefits. AustCyber is maximising the potential of our cutting-edge cyber security start ups and scale-ups, expanding commercial opportunities for cyber security across the entire Australian economy, and bringing Australian cyber security products and services to the global market.

AustCyber is proud to be the principal partner on the 2019 Cyber Security Trade Mission to the USA and to be joined by other supporting partners and sponsors in this endeavour. We can’t wait to showcase Australia’s cyber security capabilities and industry on the international stage again. The mission is all about deepening commercial relationships and developing new export pathways, and I encourage delegates to take advantage of every opportunity that is directed their way!

Michelle Price CEO of AustCyber


AUSTRALIA CYBER SECURITY: PROTECTING INNOVATION, GROWTH AND PROSPERITY

Australia’s dynamic cyber security sector offers opportunities to those seeking solutions to cyber security problems as well as to global cyber security companies looking to establish a base in the Asia-Pacific region.

Australia has been at the forefront of developments in safety and security in the online environment, which is reflected in its robust legislation, advanced law enforcement capability, rigorous policy development and strong technical defences.

The strong focus on cyber security by Australian governments and industry has led to the development of new and innovative solutions that have worldwide applications. Australian products and solutions can be easily incorporated into existing systems and platforms in markets across the globe.

Australia and the US have a strong allied history and a shared commitment to addressing cyber security, underscored by our membership of the ‘Five-Eyes’ intelligence alliance. Further, the US is a critical research and development partner for Australian businesses and institutions and our common commitment to the security of the internet only paves the way for further joint research, development and commercialisation of solutions of global significance. For Australian companies working in this sector, the US is a natural location to explore business, investment, and strategic partnership opportunities.

Meeting market demands

As an advanced economy, whose citizens expect a high living standard, Australia must provide the cyber security solutions required to protect and promote a connected society. The Australian economy depends on technology and digital connectivity in sectors offering domestic and global growth opportunities, including financial services, defence, energy and communications.

Protecting, and expanding, these sectors makes cyber security a central challenge for Australia. The annual cost of cybercrime in Australia is estimated at over A$1 billion in direct costs, and possibly as high as one per cent of GDP a year – about A$17 billion.

Australia faces challenges and opportunities raised by its deep integration into the economically and politically dynamic Asia-Pacific region. By 2030, within the Asia-Pacific region, McKinsey estimates technologies such as data analytics, mobile internet, the Internet of Things and cloud computing could create up to US$625 billion in economic activity per year – 12 per cent of projected GDP. By 2020, critical infrastructure security spending in the Asia-Pacific region is expected to reach US$22 billion.


Australia is one of the most developed and high-spending cloud markets globally, creating a driver to advance stronger security initiatives. Frost & Sullivan forecasts cloud spending will grow at a compound annual growth rate of 23.5 per cent over 2016–22 to reach A$9.5 billion in 2022.

Creating cyber security for the future

Australia recognises the scale of the cyber security challenges that exist, including the social factors influencing individuals, organisations and international attitudes towards cyber security. Australia’s cyber security sector assists organisations to understand and meet their obligations to protect customers’ assets and information, while strong collaboration within the ecosystem fosters innovation.

A robust regulatory environment and clear policy settings provide a high degree of certainty regarding the security of IP and data, compared to other regional economies.

For example, amendments to the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) that were introduced in 2014 increased the onus on companies to be more careful with customer data and specified civil penalties of up to A$1.7 million.

The country is well placed to become a global cyber security powerhouse. With the second-highest ‘cyber maturity’ in the Indo-Pacific and strengths in core skill areas such as quantum computation, wireless technology and high-value hardware, Australia is the ideal growth environment for cyber security businesses. Australia’s well-developed services economy and the quality of its education system make it an ideal growth environment for organisations offering innovative cyber security solutions.

While cyber security is a nascent industry in Australia, favourable market conditions and concerted efforts could lead to Australia’s cyber security industry tripling in size over the next decade, with revenues soaring to A$6 billion by 2026, from just over A$2 billion in 2016.


Recognising that strong cyber security is a foundation for economic growth and prosperity, the Australian Government launched its national Cyber Security Strategy in 2016 – backed by A$230 million of funding – to strengthen the local cyber security industry. The strategy includes initiatives to enable cyber security innovation, support the development of new cyber security businesses, promote the export of Australian cyber security products and services, and ensure cyber security research and development meets industry needs.A key initiative of the Strategy was the creation of the Australian Cyber Security Growth Network (AustCyber) – an independent, not-for-profit organisation that is funded by federal government grants, and is also an initiative under the National Innovation and Science Agenda. AustCyber’s mission is to support the development of a vibrant and globally competitive Australian cyber security sector, and enhance Australia’s future

economic growth in a digitally enabled global economy

Research and development

Government leadership and public-private partnerships have fostered world-class cyber security research in Australia. Some of the best cyber security researchers in the world are based in Australia, providing an important platform for the development of critical mass and future growth.

An international team of scientists led by Swinburne University has set a record for the complexity possible on a quantum computing chip. In 2018, Australia named Professor Michelle Simmons ‘Australian of the Year’ for her pioneering research that has transformed the Quantum Physics Department at the University of New South Wales into a world leader in advanced computing systems.The Australian Chief Scientist has identified

cyber security as one of the nation’s nine Science and Research Priorities. Focus on these priorities is designed to increase investment in areas of immediate and critical importance to Australia and its place in the world. Results of this national commitment are visible in citation impact, one indicator of research quality, where Australian cyber security research ranks ahead of the US, Canada, England, Germany, Japan and Singapore.

Australian researchers focus on niche areas of cyber security such as quantum technology, wireless technology and trustworthy systems. For example, the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation’s (CSIRO) Data61, Australia’s largest data innovation group and a partner of this Cyber Security Mission to the US, has developed the seL4 kernel, which provides the strongest operating system security available in the world.

The Defence Science and Technology Group (DST) has developed award-winning approaches for the trustworthy use of commercial hardware. Importantly, Data61 and DST are partnering to bring together these developments and provide feasible trustworthy software and hardware solutions with broad applications.

The Department of Defence has also announced A$12 million in funding for a new purpose-built facility at the Australian National University (ANU) to improve Australia’s cyber security. Once completed, the building will house 70 students, academics and staff from the department’s cyber agency, the Australian Signals Directorate. The investment will allow ANU and the Department of Defence to collaborate on research, including high-performance computing, data analytics and cyber security.

Many of Australia’s largest businesses — particularly banks and telecommunications companies — have strong cyber security capabilities and invest in cyber security R&D. Australia is a popular test bed for new technology and the recipient of commercial investment in R&D. This has led to the development of products such as world.

R&D tax incentive

The Australian Government supports cyber security innovators through the R&D tax incentive, which makes Australia an attractive location for both core and applied research and development. It has two core components: › a refundable tax offset of 43.5 per cent for

eligible entities with turnover less than A$20 million per annum

› a 38.5 per cent non-refundable tax offset for all other eligible entities.

At Deception.ai, a business unit of Penten, we use machine learning to tailor highly realistic cyber traps based on observations of your data. The decoys are ideal to detect, confuse and/or track sophisticated adversaries.

Our first product, TrapDocs, creates and manages cyber traps amongst your important documents to help discover unauthorised access. These traps produce very small quantities of alerts that are highly reliable indicators of data theft.

Our product is unique because our traps mimic the data, authorship and structure of your documents. This allows us to tailor bait to match surrounding files. What gets stolen (or not touched) gives you an indication of the adversarys goals and intent. Our novel approaches to AI ensures the traps do not contain content of value.

We have two other content generation products that make wireless communications and operating system metadata. Visit us at Booth 269.

Backed by significant institutional funding, and spearheaded by incoming Chair and Director, Professor Ryan Ko, UQ is broadening and deepening existing technical and non-technical research and engagement activities, and developing strategic educational pathways to develop the next generation of Cyber Security leaders from a diverse, global talent pool.

Company Profile

Company Profile

Vertex has developed a SaaS-based high-grade whitelisting solution called ShellProtect to bring back clarity and confidence for modern businesses operating in today’s digital economy. ShellProtect is a unique Cloud-based Cyber Security Manager that has been built using recommendations from the USA’s National Security Agency (NSA) and the Australian Signals Directorate. It provides detection, protection, hardening and reporting combined into a single tool.

Vertex is a cybersecurity company founded by Martin Boyd in Sydney. Martin Boyd is the former executive manager cybersecurity for The Commonwealth Bank of Australia and industry lecturer at Macquarie University. The company started in 2016 by doing cybersecurity

consultancy for startups around Sydney through word of mouth. In 2018, Vertex has grown to deliver security work for bigger sized clients such as a national construction group, Australian government and financial services companies.

From our consultancy work, Vertex realised a highly recommended lead practice was not being followed by businesses due to the complexity and cost to implement and manage in the business environment. The resulting outcome was breach after breach. The commonly missing lead practice is called Whitelisting. Whitelisting is strongly recommended by top tier national security agencies around the world such as the Department of Defense, NSA, FBI and Australian Signals Directorate.

WithYouWithMe is an education and employment organisation which helps companies find the right talent for the right jobs and helps individuals hit their full potential in the workforce.

The WYWM Cyber program is changing the way companies view cyber security talent and is creating a new cohort of highly skilled individuals to fill the labour gap in the cyber industry.

WithYouWithMe’s innovative matching can identify individuals with the potential to be a success in cyber,

with the WYWM Academy training courses upskilling individuals for new cyber careers. This includes talent internal to a company who are being upskilled for redeployment, as well as underemployed individuals who are transitioning to cyber careers, with a particular focus on military veterans.

WithYouWithMe works with more than 100 of the world’s leading organisations to help them identify the best talent and develop the best teams to maintain and defend their systems.
