Date Time Cyber security hub launched, manager appointed Townsville has moved two steps closer to establishing itself as a national cyber security leader with the launch today of a new cyber security node and the appointment of the node’s inaugural manager. Mayor Jenny Hill said the local node was part of a national network of cyber security innovation nodes and had been developed in a partnership between Townsville City Council and the Queensland and Australian Government. “Cyber security is a high economic growth industry and having this node in Townsville will provide our local businesses the building blocks they need to secure their digital networks and improve their capabilities,” Cr Hill said.
