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’re proud to share that Chris Leong, our Project and Engagement Lead at CyberWest Hub, will be engaged as a mentor for the #BandwithAmplify program by Creative Tech Village.

This engagement reflects CyberWest Hub’s commitment not only to advancing cyber capabilities but also to empowering startups and entrepreneurs through strategic collaboration with our sister innovation hubs.

We were thrilled to host Vikram Sareen and Blue Bricks, who tackled some of our tertiary institution's most pressing cybersecurity challenges.

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.

CyberWest Hub have launched Scams and Scones, a cyber awareness program designed for vulnerable communities.   

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.

Pillar II of AUKUS has the potential to be transformative for Australia’s defence sector. When stripped down to its impact on Australian organisations, Pillar II will improve the cyber hygiene of every business participating in a defence contract, at every point of the supply chain.

That means cyber security is no longer an optional process for businesses, its a basic requirement.

Western Australia has become an international epicentre for cyber secruity experts, businesses and leaders. More and more international cyber companies are moving to our city and building their remore teams here.
