教育部长Dan Tehan与斯威本大学项教授
如今，越来越多的家庭开始使用各种智能家居设备，在澳大利亚，80%的居民在家里都有智能家居设备，例如智能电视、婴儿监视器和智能手机等等。而有超过50%的人在家里拥有超过三部以上的智能设备。
这类设备非常容易被网络犯罪分子和黑客们侵入，而智能家居设备的网络漏洞一旦被利用，将会产生十分严重的后果。GPG绿澳地产蓝博士和斯威本大学数字创新研究院院长项教授在这一点上一拍即合，达成了合作并启动了“智能家居设备的网络安全”项目。
GPG绿澳地产和斯威本大学希望这一项目可以为智能家居提供最好的保护措施，为澳洲居民使用新科技产品创造更多的信心。
这一项目将会持续三年，项教授和他的团队将会用他们的专业技术，通过软件测试来定位智能设备的安全漏洞。这一技术将会让澳大利亚成为这一领域的执牛耳者。
GPG绿澳地产将会为研究室提供各方面的支持，并帮助将实验结果运用于实际的房屋项目中。

Supporting cutting-edge research
Media Release
The Hon Dan Tehan MP
Minister for Education
The Morrison Government is funding new cutting-edge research to keep Australians safe and our economy strong, including a project to protect the smart devices in our homes from cyberattacks.
Minister for Education Dan Tehan today announced more than $5 million for 11 new research partnerships. The projects include:
$360,000 to improve the detection of cyber-attack vulnerabilities in internet-enabled home devices. This project is a collaboration between Swinburne University and Greenland Property Group.
$395,000 to develop an early-warning system capable of detecting cracks and leaks to prevent burst pipes in our cities. This project is a collaboration between the University of Adelaide and South Australian Water Corporation.
$472,635 to identify and address the daily challenges faced by children who have lost their hearing that will lead to improved support for the hearing impaired. This project is a collaboration with Macquarie University and hearing service providers, parents and industry.
$300,512 to develop a technological platform to detect food spoilage and life threatening microbial contamination in the food we eat. This project is a collaboration between the University of Sydney and Applied Research Centre-Centro Richerche Applicate S.R.L.
"Eight out of ten Australians have a smart device in their home, including smart TVs, baby monitors and mobile phones; nearly 50 per cent of us have three or more such devices," Mr Tehan said.
"These devices are being targeted by cybercriminals and hackers and any security vulnerability in the internet enabled devices in our homes can have very real consequences. People need to have confidence when using new technology that they have the best-possible protection, so the Morrison Government is providing $360,000 to Swinburne University of Technology to use new technology to find previously unseen vulnerabilities and develop protections.
"The ARC’s Linkage Projects scheme supports research that brings higher education researchers and other innovative businesses together to conduct critical research collaborations that address issues affecting our communities. These collaborations will improve the lives of everyday Australians through research that drives ideas, finds practical solutions to existing challenges, and creates real-world benefits."
More details about all Linkage Projects announced today are available from the ARC website.
