Activating CyberPath - Australia’s next step toward a world‑leading cyber workforce

CyberPath is rapidly becoming one of Australia’s most significant cyber workforce initiatives, establishing a defensible approach to assure the capabilities of cyber security professionals. CyberPath is providing clear job roles, competency standards and learning pathways for current and prospective workers to build Australia’s world-class cyber security workforce.

Join this session to hear about the plan to activate CyberPath, the strength of its industry-led design, and the depth of consultation that has shaped it to build a model that reflects real workforce needs. Attendees will hear how CyberPath’s differentiated ontology and context-informed approach build on global frameworks while responding to the realities of the Australian economy, offering a modern, threat aligned, and inclusive framework that reflects how cyber careers develop in practice. The session will outline what CyberPath means for employers and practitioners, how they can participate, and the path toward national adoption. CyberCon is an opportunity to bring that vision to life, test it with industry, and invite the community to be part of the next chapter.
