Very glad that our updated National Cyber Security Strategy is now officially out. I look forward to really getting into the detail of it over the coming days (64 pages is a dedicated but important read!).
One of my immediate "likes" is the stated aspiration of establishing an industry code of practice for incident response providers (Shield 1 Initiative 6 on pages 25-26).
In my career I have been called into a live scenario on many occasions where the "incident responder" is not that at all, and at best can be described as a systems administrator who perhaps dabbles in security or "knows and understands the environment". In my view, this isn't good enough.
We need Australian businesses to easily identify the specialists in this field, and know why, how and when to call them. As the Strategy reiterates and I agree, "When a cyber incident occurs, every moment matters".
I look forward to seeing how this aspect of the Strategy evolves and NSB Cyber looks forward to being a part of the Cyber Response & Recovery and Cyber Defence solution for Australian businesses.
