Territory IT companies and small to medium businesses will now have better access to cyber security advice and expertise with the opening of a new Joint Cyber Security Service in Darwin, operating from the Northern Australia Development Office.
This partnership with the Australian Government will see the Darwin Joint Cyber Security Service (JCSS) operate from the Northern Australia Development Office.
Through this new service, small businesses can access cyber threat information and seek advice from experts, while ICT enterprises can collaborate, share information across the sector and access skill development workshops.
The Territory Government will work with the service to facilitate programs supporting regional businesses and key sectors through regional visits and sector-specific workshops.
This service will drive closer collaboration between government, industry, academia and the research community to support and learn from each other, share insights, and work together on cyber threats and opportunities.
