Australia’s cyber challenge isn’t just skills, it’s transparency.

Nothing hampers business quite like uncertainty. Yet the cyber security industry operates without a clear and consistent framework for skills, pathways and recognition.

Cyber roles and expectations vary widely between sectors.
Skills are often learned but not formally recognised.
Capability is uneven across organisations and supply chains
Knowledge exists, but is fragmented across silos

CyberPath is an opportunity for the industry to strengthen through collaboration.
