Public Sector Information Security

Enhancing the Security of Government Information and Systems
Date: 23 - 24 July 2009
Location: Rydges World Square, Sydney
Event Type: Conference

Information is a vital asset of government organisations. In the managing and handling of large amounts of private and sensitive information by government organisations, protection of information is crucial.

However, the security of information is constantly subject to threats and risks such as unauthorised access, loss, disclosure, misuse and modification. Organisations are constantly facing new security challenges with the introduction and adoption of emerging mobile, wireless and virtual information and communication technologies.

In addition, public sector organisations need to deal with specific challenges, such as ensuring compliance with government information security standards, dealing with politics and bureaucratic decision processes, handling of political sensitive information and ensuring security in inter-agency information transfers.

The preservation of confidentiality, integrity and availability of information isn’t just a technology issue, but requires strategic planning and integration in critical business processes and enterprise risk management policies.

This one-day conference will provide you with opportunities to hear timely and practical information security case studies from the public sector. You’ll be armed with techniques to:
