Through its most valuable resource… The
Australian People
The leading cybersecurity college in Israel, HackerU, today
formally lodged an official petition to the Australian National
Government to accredit Australia’s first-ever Offensive “Red Team”
Cybersecurity Qualification - And with it, potentially comes a new
framework for international trade.
The proposed course brings to the Australian public the same
Israeli expertise in cybersecurity that has made the tiny desert
nation #1 in cyber innovation and #2 in global market share.
HackerU has been a leading education provider in Israel for decades
and has directly contributed to the country’s success in the
sector.
HackerU
HackerU operates in the U.S., Europe, and Asia through
partnerships with selected universities. However, after assessing
the Australian education system, the laws and regulations, current
offerings, and the National Cybersecurity Agenda as set by MPs and
National Policy Makers, HackerU has chosen to work with the
government and regulators, within the Australian system.
Israel /
Australi Trade Relations
In August 2020, HackerU published the “Teach a Man To F.I.S.H.''
Initiative ( Future. In digital. Security. Human resources.). It
advocated for trade through knowledge transfer and offered
solutions to what Policy Makers have publicly cited as challenges
to further developing a domestic cybersecurity sector. The
solutions offered in the initiative were at no expense to the
Australian Taxpayer.
Jesse Miller, The Head of International Government Relations for
HackerU commented “The course enables Australia to develop a
cybersecurity sector fitting for its position in the world as a
business leader. The fact our Embassy so strongly supported our
initiative, may have signaled they felt it was a diplomatic
overture extending an olive branch of friendship by exporting the
MEANS of production of one of its most valuable resources, rather
than just the fruits of it.”
Leaving No-one
Behind The Digital Age
The proposed course is unique and essential. Not just in that it
teaches a skill set currently not available in Australia, but that
it provides access to people who would never normally enter the
field. The course has no prerequisites and admits students based on
an aptitude assessment. The assessment is free of charge to the
candidate. The course timeframe is manageable, allowing those who
do not have, and may have never had, the opportunity for an
education that enables them to enter a very high-paying career
within 1 year.
Mr. Miller added “I come from a blue-collar family and
University was never a possibility. Because of this, I faced
adversity and difficulties to reach my full potential. Had I had
known something like this existed back then, I could have skipped a
lot of hardships. To me, raising awareness and providing access
isn’t just business. It’s personal”
ASQA, The regulating body responsible for Vocational Education
& Training is set to respond within 20 business days.
