Universities and Defence Group Partner on Port Cyber Resilience Simulation
What happened
Adelaide University and Flinders University partnered with the Defence Science and Technology Group to create a simulation technology tool. This gaming-style simulator was developed to train port operator teams in managing cyber incidents and extreme weather events in real-time. The project was funded through the Defence Innovation Partnership's Collaborative Research Fund.

Why it matters
Australia relies heavily on shipping for 99% of its international trade, making port stability vital to economic continuity. The simulator aims to help port operators test their resilience against significant disruptions, such as cyber-attacks, which could otherwise cause shortages of essential supplies like medicines and fuels.
