We’re excited to share highlights from our recent Student of Cyber July event, hosted in collaboration with David Staeck and his team at Focus Networks!

David and Josh kicked things off by sharing valuable market insights and practical advice on cyber career readiness. He also gave students a deeper understanding of Focus Networks—highlighting how their client-centric approach, tailored solutions, and commitment to innovation help them deliver meaningful impact in a rapidly evolving industry.

In a major step forward for Western Australia’s digital future, CyberWest Hub officially launched the WA Cyber Capability Directory and the Cyber Education Directory at the CyberWest Summit 2025—the state’s premier cybersecurity awareness and innovation event.

We were thrilled to welcome Jesse Gane from Adisyn (ASX:AI1) who delivered an engaging and through provoking session that left a lasting impression.

Jesse brought a wealth of industry insight, sharing his journey through the cybersecurity landscape and offering practical advice for students and early-career professionals. His talk sparked lively discussion, constant Q&A, and moments of real reflection among attendees. Students were eager to explore pathways into cyber and how to navigate them with purpose.

We just wrapped up our April event in collaboration with REA Group. This month, we tackled a hot topic: "How can we prevent bots from scraping our public website without negatively impacting the experience of unauthenticated users?"

CyberWest Hub was proud to support the Business News Security and Resilience Sector Briefing this week, exploring this topic with the business community. The panel discussion was insightful, exploring the geopolitical context of cyber risk, as well as highlighting that most cybercrime is opportunistic - basic security measures are critical.

We had an incredible session at Students of Cyber (SoC) April event hosted by PwC Australia. A big shout-out to Duncan Alderson and his ever-so-generous team for sharing their invaluable insights and experiences with our student cohort.

What an incredible afternoon at our very first CyberQueens event! Co-hosted by CyberWest Hub, Students of Cyber (SoC) by CyberWest Hub, and North Metropolitan TAFE, the session was brimming with inspiration as students across different universities and TAFE came together and engaged with cyber industry professionals. A heartfelt shoutout to all the industry partners who attended and made this event a success!

We had an incredible time at our special event with CyberCX, welcoming new faces and reconnecting with our amazing community.

What a great start to the year. Thanks to everyone who joined for our first Students of Cyber. It was lovely to welcome some new attendees and catchup with all our regular community too.
