South Australia is positioning itself as a national leader in cyber capability, supported by world‑class research institutions, advanced innovation precincts and a thriving defence ecosystem.

Home to more than 70 cyber security companies and the Australian Cyber Collaboration Centre at Lot Fourteen, the state offers an ideal environment for organisations developing, testing and scaling technologies that strengthen national cyber resilience and protect critical systems.

Our cyber expertise continues to grow across the Edinburgh Defence Precinct, Lot Fourteen, Tonsley Innovation District and Technology Park, attracting national and global organisations seeking specialist talent, collaboration and a cost‑effective operating environment. Our world-class academic institutions offer specialist courses in cyber security, producing highly skilled professionals and fostering deep research into advanced cyber capability.

South Australia is also contributing to the development of advanced cyber capabilities under AUKUS Pillar II, reinforcing the state’s role as a trusted technology partner across emerging defence and security technologies.

The South Australian Government is committed to uplifting cyber security across industry, government and the community. To support cyber readiness and provide clear visibility of the state’s expertise, the Department of State Development has produced the Cyber Industry Capability Matrix, showcasing leading South Australian organisations and their specialised cyber security services across governance and identification; protection; detection and response and cyber research.
