It&#8217;s not a problem for governments to fix on their behalf, or for universities to magically resolve,\u201d he said.<br \/>\n\u201cThis is also not an industry where the private sector can take the lazy way out of importing all the necessary skills.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe particular sensitivities around cyber security means that many practitioners working with Government systems, for example, need to be security cleared, and there are citizenship requirements attached to this,\u201d Mr Tudehope said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo the competition for the best and brightest will become more intense, and today\u2019s skills shortage could easily become a full-blown skills crisis unless more people take a forward thinking approach and invest in national skills development.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Macquarie Telecom provides front-line security to 42% of Federal Government agencies through its Secure Internet Gateway.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur team understands the importance of cyber security and the complexities of handling vast amounts of data created by an increasingly connected world.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe understand the criticality in developing skill sets that understand these complexities and the challenges to tackle cyber security threats at a cyber-national scale hence our investment in these scholarships\u201d said Mr Tudehope.<\/p>\n<p>Applications for the Macquarie Telecom Cyber Security Scholarship are open from now until 6th March 2016.<\/p>\n<p>Contact
