Data security innovator GuardWare has launched the encryption software suite PROTECT, a world-first solution that can persistently protect sensitive data while in use. The software allows data to flow securely up and down the supply chain and be destroyed by the document owner at any time as needed.
Associate Professor Sushmita Ruj is the Faculty of Engineering Lead at the UNSW Institute for Cybersecurity (IFCYBER). With expertise in cryptography and privacy enhancing technologies, her interest in research for Defence developed organically.
“Through my involvement with Defence Trailblazer, I am building stronger relationships with defence organisations and exploring options to develop sovereign capabilities for Australian defence,” says Associate Professor Ruj.
We are excited to share the recent success of our Cyber Security Voucher Program – a program designed to support defence industry to uplift their cyber security, collaborate securely with partners and do business with Defence.
Developed in consultation with industry, the program addresses the industry preference for flexibility that enables cyber uplift unique to each company’s requirements. Launched in May 2024, 25 Australian SMEs have now received support through vouchers of up to $50,000 each, resulting in the award of over $1.1 million in total funding.
