He has published four books on cyber space issues and five other books on international security as author, co-author or editor. Greg is co-founder of the Social Cyber Institute and is author to several books and most recently "Cyber Security Education: Principles and Policies". Which I would like to further explore today. I also have NSW Cyber Security Innovation Node Ambassador co-hosting today Stephen Chey. Welcome and thank you for your time today. Questions: What are the current strengths and weaknesses of the Australian cybersecurity education system? What might we lead from international experience? What's your perspective on the opportunities for public private partnerships in cyber education? How serious is the skills gap in Australia and are we taking appropriate steps to close it? What are some examples of good practice or positive trends that we should take note of?
