Why – The Cybersecurity Opportunities 2018 outlook Source: AUSTRALIA’S CYBER SECURITY SECTOR COMPETITIVENESS PLAN 2019 UPDATE, AustCyber • Cyber security in Australia employs around 20,500 people • Total expenditure is A$5.0 billion in 2018 • A$3.9 billion spent on external cyber security 2018 • A$1 billion on their internal cyber security functions in 2018 • Small but fast-growing sector • From 2018 to 2026, external cyber security spending in Australia is likely to increase more than twice as fast (7.9 per cent annual growth) as broader IT • Australia may need almost 17,000 additional cyber security workers by 2026 for the sector to harness its full growth potential. • It is expected that the number of cyber graduates could quadruple from around 500 per year in 2017 to about 2,000 a year in 2026, • This still leaves a significant shortfall of workers in the medium-term.
