Institute. She is a leader in cyber security, with an outstanding record of
strategic planning and delivery within complex and multidisciplinary
environments spanning government, industry and academia.

The Australian National University (ANU)
has established the new ANU Cyber Institute in order to combine expertise from
across a range of disciplines that will conduct leading research, which will
help shape the nation's future in the increasingly vital fields of cyber
security and innovation.

For its inaugural CEO, the ANU has

challenges faced by us all.”

Dr Seebeck said she was pleased to join
ANU, and to help build national capability in such a key area of Australia's
future.

She explained, “Cyber security is a field
that sits at the intersection of people, technology, organisation, society,
economics and security.  The Cyber Institute
offers the opportunity to bring people and ideas together from across a wide
range of disciplines, backgrounds and endeavours to drive innovation, meet
immediate needs and shape how we, as a nation, position ourselves for the
future.”

Professor Huntington said, “Lesley's
appointment will strengthen the breadth of cyber related research, innovation
and teaching opportunities across campus, to go beyond established boundaries
and forge new paths.”

She added, “With a focus on bringing
together people from a range of backgrounds, Lesley will contribute strongly to
the Reimagine project by shaping a problem inspired teaching, research and
innovation agenda for the coming decades.”
