Brief

The Canberra Cyber Hub is focused on establishing Canberra as a premier destination for cyber security careers and innovation, while showcasing the region’s existing talent and technological capability. To address Australia’s critical cyber skills shortage, the Canberra Cyber Hub needed to position the industry as an attractive pathway for individuals with transferrable skills from other sectors.

Additionally, Brand Rebellion delivered the Upskill Cyber Activation Campaign, driving workforce attraction as part of the broader talent strategy.
