Partner or perish: Research collaboration to secure cyberspace

Cyber Security: A Peer-Reviewed Journal, 2017, vol. 1, issue 1, 69-79

Abstract: We are increasingly dependent on an increasingly unknown system, the internet. It has an expanding attack surface and is constantly evolving and changing, at a rate that is showing no sign of easing. Ironically, it presents both a critical security challenge and a great opportunity. With such a complex, multifaceted and fast-changing technological area, we cannot hope to successfully meet the challenges and accept the opportunities without broadly partnering. Put simply, it is a case of ‘partner or perish’. Or is that ‘partner and prosper’? This paper explores the contemporary cyber context and discusses the approach taken by the Australian Government’s Defence Science and Technology Group in establishing its cyber science and technology programme, and its approach to partnerships as a critical enabler.
