Register for this event HERE International best practice on cyber technical and profession standards has been central to the development of cyber security as a profession. Currently it is seen as a Computing discipline and thus governed from a Professional Standards perspective by the Australian Computer Society, this has allowed Australia to establish a baseline of knowledge and skills criteria which represent the minimum expectations of cyber security technicians and professionals. Professional Standards in Cyber Security involve assertions that a standard is vendor neutral and independent, they establish the minimum professional standard of competence and built around a complete requirement for full professional formation. This is also dependent on the maintenance of competence through continuing professional development and supported by a disciplinary code with a process for public complaint and sanctions. Without Professional Standards we cannot ensure good governance, duty of care, validation and verification of results. Historically, Australia has drawn on many international workplace cyber security standards including: The United States Department of Defense Information Assurance Workforce Improvement Program National Institute of Standards and Technology, US Department of Commerce National Initiative for Cyber Security Education, Workforce Framework US Department of Labor sponsored industry Cybersecurity Competency Model This webinar looks at how NIST/ NICE standards have been drawn on in Australian professional standards and curriculum models to aid with recruitment, skilling and other workplace cyber security issues. Jill Slay Jill is the University of South Australia SmartSat Professorial Chair in Cybersecurity and leads the SmartSat Cybersecurity and Resilience Theme. She has an international research reputation in cyber security. Jill was in 2017-2019 Director of Cyber Resilience Initiatives for the Australian Computer Society (ACS) and led Federal Government work on the development of Professional Standards in Cyber Security. She has published widely and supervised >20 PhDs cyber security. She is a Member of the Order of Australia (AM), and a Fellow of ISC2 for her service in information security.

The OSI model provides a layered model of how to implement a network. There is a sympathetic security compliance stack that should be fulfilled to ensure our people, processes and data stay safe. Revolving around the security policy of an organisation, the security intent needs to be translated into infrastructure that can actively secure the environment. The key to that policy is that infrastructure and personnel must almost transparently implement and enforce that policy as part of their day-to-day operations, for all places in the network. Ideally, through analytics and automation, the network should become adaptive and flexible, acting autonomously to evade intruders and malicious activity before they become an issue. This presentation will describe a layered approach to security: From the topdown, how do we develop useful policy that can be automated by technology? In the middle, how we implement a Zero Trust policy integrated across multiple domains? And; From the bottom up, how do we ensure the technology stack is a secure, trusted, automated platform for the implementation of that policy?
