How the program started
In collaboration with the NSW Department of Industry, the Optus Macquarie Cyber Security Hub is launching the NSW-India Cyber Security exchange, taking a number of cyber security start-ups from New South Wales to key destinations across India in September 2019.
Yesterday, we saw an impressive group of start ups presenting for their chance to be part of the NSW-India Cyber Security Exchange. Well done and thank you to all who participated.
