Monash University and cyber security company CyberCX have launched a new CyberAI degree to address Australia’s growing shortage of skilled cyber security professionals.

The new program aims to combine artificial intelligence and cyber security training, preparing students for the rapidly changing digital threat landscape.

The initiative comes as businesses and governments face increasing demand for experts who can protect critical systems and manage emerging AI-driven risks.

Students will gain industry-focused skills through collaboration between academic researchers and cyber security specialists.

The partnership is expected to create new career pathways for graduates in one of Australia’s fastest-growing technology sectors.

Experts say developing a skilled cyber workforce will be essential for strengthening Australia’s digital security and future innovation.
