Why the private sector is missing out on cyber threat intelligence
Australia's promising Cyber Security Centre is now a sock puppet for the Australian Signals Directorate, a statutory authority within the defence department.
The formation of the Australian Cyber Security Centre created an organisation that held enormous potential. The ACSC was an amalgam of cyber expertise from six different government agencies and promised to enable collaboration across government and also between government and the private sector. It was supposed to focus on the transference of information to enhance operational capabilities.
The outcome we were all hoping for was a structure that would facilitate government and private-sector organisations being better able to protect themselves.
