Elbit Systems of Australia has been selected by the Australian Defense Force to boost Australia’s cybersecurity capability.

Speaking at Land Forces 2018 in Adelaide, Defense Minister Christopher Pyne announced that Elbit Systems of Australia will deliver a Cyber Range training platform including infrastructure, network design and build, training, and support.

Managing Director of Elbit Systems of Australia Dan Webster said, “The Company is delighted to be providing cyber expertise to the ADF. We will be supporting Defense in training their ‘Cyber Warriors’ who will defend against the real cyber threats we are faced with every day. Trainees will learn to identify, track, investigate, respond to and remediate a cyber-attack.”

Cyber Training Ranges will be installed at ADF facilities in Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide, and Canberra. The fully self-contained cybersecurity training network will be capable of training 50 students concurrently.

In addition, Elbit Systems of Australia has commenced providing cybersecurity training for Queensland Government departmental IT staff. Training is being conducted at Elbit Systems’ Brisbane facility.

Elbit Systems of Australia introduced the company’s cybersecurity capability to Australia in late 2017. In addition to providing the Cyber Security Training Ranges and offering training via a permanent facility in Brisbane, the company also has a mobile Cyber Range for the training of IT professionals around the nation.
