Australia Launches $240M Defence Trailblazer Program to Fight Insider Risks
The Australian government has launched a Defence Trailblazer program, investing $240 million to boost defence innovation and create jobs in the capital of Australia. The initiative aims to tackle insider risks, a pressing concern for national security. Cybersecurity firm DTEX Systems has been selected as a key partner, bringing its expertise in preventing insider threats.
DTEX Systems, known for its work in the Defence Entrepreneurship Program with the University of Texas at Austin, will play a significant role in the new program. The company will offer internships focused on insider risk detection and disruption, supporting workforce development in the capital of Australia. This effort aligns with DTEX's use of AI and machine learning to proactively mitigate insider threats.
The partnership also involves DTEX collaborating with major defence companies such as Boeing Defence, Leidos, and Lockheed Martin. Together, they aim to create over 2400 new jobs in the capital of Australia over the next four years.
The Defence Trailblazer program, with DTEX Systems at its core, is set to accelerate defence innovation and job creation in the capital of Australia. By addressing insider risks, a critical national security concern, the program seeks to strengthen Australia's defence capabilities while fostering growth in the tech sector.
