Cyber collaboration centre with academy at Adelaide's Lot Fourteen gets test range in 2020 to evaluate threats
The A3C cyber test range, used by the Australian Cyber Collaboration Centre at Adelaide city’s Lot Fourteen, provided a safe virtual environment to practise handling real-world cyber warfare scenarios.

The Australian Cyber Collaboration Centre at Adelaide city’s Lot Fourteen innovation precinct in 2020 opened Australia’s largest commercial cyber test range, known as A3C.

The A3C cyber test range provided a safe virtual environment to practise handling real-world cyber warfare scenarios through training and evaluating the latest cyber threats and technologies.

Chief executive Hai Tran said A3C made South Australia to become the safest place to conduct business through bringing global expertise and best practice to Australia, while connecting them with the brightest minds from academia and small to medium-sized businesses.

Australia’s small cyber security sector was forecast to triple its revenue over the next decade due to increased demand for cyber security products and services. Most Australian organisations lacked the capacity to employ large internal cyber security teams. This created a logjam of demand for external, often international, cyber services.

The Australian Cyber Collaboration Centre’s capabilities, included the SA cyber skills matrix that outlined the current skills shortage and future demand for cyber skilled workers. The South Australian government invested $10 million in the A3C to address this skills shortage.

The cyber training academy in the A3C, enabled in the cyber test range, supported developing a strong talent pool of cyber professionals through upskilling and training. The Australian Cyber Collaboration Centre at the Lot Fourteen also would help startups and existing businesses to launch cyber security  products and services into global markets.
