He stressed the importance of international partnerships between like-minded organizations in the ongoing battle against cyber threats.

The CTA serves an incredibly important mission in this context, and CyberCX is proud to play our part in this global effort, strengthening the sharing of high-value, real-time threat intelligence to and from the Australia and New Zealand region."
