Feeling Insecure?
Successful e-government depends on citizen trust in online services and secure information handling. Both of these are threatened by malicious and accidental data security breaches. SecureGov Forum Australia is the country’s premier conference focusing on the issues that matter for Australia’s public sector security guardians.
How can remote workers be given more access to government systems, whilst maintaining security? Will greater transaction security boost e-services adoption? Can ‘Smart Phones’ be made ‘Safe Phones’? How do successful government departments manage evolving internal and external information security risks?
SecureGov Forums provides you with a candid opportunity for the region’s government officials to discuss these critical issues in a closed-door environment, alongside leading information security technologists. Collaborate and join your peers in the conversation and be involved in safeguarding the Australian government’s information assets!
2012 Focus
SecureGov Forum Australia features discussions focusing on the biggest security challenges facing government:
- Networks: Increased enterprise agility must not come at the expense of security – intrusion prevention and monitoring, access control, and protecting branches and the network periphery.
- Devices: PCs, laptops, smart phones, tablets – the range of official and personal devices in use by civil servants continues to proliferate, presenting agencies with complex endpoint security challenges.
- Content: Increasing volumes of confidential citizen data and sensitive official records challenge the ability of public sector agencies to prevent malicious and accidental security breaches.
QUICK KEY FACTS
- Australian Security Government Strategies: The speed of technological change associated with next generation networks is challenging traditional notions of what constitutes computer networks and how we should secure them
- Cyber and information security: Cyber intrusions on government, critical infrastructure and other information networks are a real threat to Australia’s national security and national interests
- Government action needed on social media security: The impact of the Sony breach on Australian consumers. “ The incident reinforces my view that organisations need to consider further limiting the amount of information they collect and store about people”. The Australian Privacy Commissioner
