Deakin University Partners With CyRise to Find Indian Cyber Security Talent

/ -- Deakin University, Australia signed a Letter of Intent with CyRise yesterday to explore collaborative activities and the establishment of programs across the field of cyber security. As India is the second largest startup hub in the world, the focus of this collaboration is to work closely with cyber security startups in India.

CyRise, a partnership between Deakin University and Dimension Data / NTT Global, has also opened applications for its cyber security startup accelerator program. With a particular focus on applications from India, CyRise's cohort three will commence in Melbourne, Australia, in February 2020. Applications are encouraged from all over the Asia Pacific region. Potential founders can apply with their early-stage cyber security solution via the CyRise website.

Professor Iain Martin, Vice Chancellor, Deakin University, said, "With the number of threats growing rapidly, cybersecurity needs both niche skills and innovative approach. Deakin's partnership with CyRise will focus on building Australia's expertise in cyber security and work closely in India, which is globally the second largest start up hub. Deakin looks forward to working alongside the team here as well as look for talented cyber security founders to join the four-month accelerator programme."
