CSIRO’s Data61 has inked a major research project with cyber security firm, Penten, to build AI-enabled cyber security defence technology, better known as ‘deception’ technology that includes cyber traps and decoys.
Two Defence Innovation Hub contracts awarded to Canberra-based cyber security company Penten are worth a total of $2.2 million, the federal government said today.
Australian security firm Penten is backing research into the use of artificial intelligence to build more convincing “cyber tripwires,” according to chief executive Matthew Wilson.
Australia is not renowned for producing homegrown security hardware, but Canberra-based company Penten is bringing to market a tiny device that promises big benefits, and significant cost savings, when it comes to secure wireless access to classified data and government networks.
