The new GovOnline online security framework

This will be the first of a range of awareness measures planned around the topic of online security within Commonwealth agencies. From March 2001, agencies will be expected to comply with a new online security framework, which amongst other things includes new requirements that agency CEOs warrant the compliance of their agencies with Commonwealth security guidelines.

This seminar will introduce the new requirements, and features speakers from NOIE, the Australian National Audit Office, the Defence Signals Directorate and the Australian Bureau of Statistics discussing the importance of online security, how to manage security as an issue within agencies, and current Commonwealth activity in the area of online security.
