Defence hiring cyber-security staff in bulk
The Department of Defence has advertised for a sizable clutch of senior IT security staff to be part of its Australian Defence Force Computer Security Incident Response Team based in Canberra.
The roles have titles ranging from cyber security incident manager, cyber security analyst, cyber network operations manager, tactical cyber intelligence manager and more, all sitting within the CSIRT, itself a part of Defence’s chief information officer group led by Greg Farr.
The CSIRT is responsible for the protection of Defence’s complex technology systems — what the department refers to as its Information environment. The roles range in pay level from a minimum of $68,000 for a cyber security analyst, all the way up to a maximum of $97,000 for a level 1 public service executive — a senior technology advisor or incident manager, for example.
The department has not yet responded to a request for comment, but the news comes shortly after Defence Minister John Faulkner opened its new Cyber Security Operations Centre in Canberra in mid-January, describing the move as a major step in meeting Defence’s commitment to understand online threats.
