Our mission

The University is working to continuously evolve our cybersecurity capabilities to prevent, detect, disrupt and respond to existing and emerging cyberthreats. As a key centre for innovation within our community, the University pushes the boundaries of conventional use of technology but we do so with a focus on protecting our systems and information.

A cyber-secure University of Melbourne is one where we’ve reduced our vulnerability to cyberthreats while balancing our need for openness, autonomy and collaboration. A risk-based approach to cybersecurity means we can better meet these needs while still managing our exposure to cybersecurity risk.
