Australian Information Security Awareness and Advisory - Security Consultant Brisbane - Governance, Risk, Compliance, and Identity Management

Welcome

This site is undergoing some major renovations to focus on my original intent for starting this.

Focusing on Australian awareness events, security incidents and adverse audit findings that have appeared in the media. There is also a few New Zealand references just to keep the peace across the ditch.

With all of the cyber security news from all over the globe and vendor press releases it is difficult to get a picture of that has happened specifically in our region. We use theses reports all the time in our practice, feel free to do so except for the original content, just reference/attribute the post on this site. Please let me know if we have missed any, reports must have been publicly disclosed.

Regards Steve and Matt
