Milton Baar, Cybersecurity Director, is teaching at Macquarie University as an Adjunct Lecturer for 2018. In this capacity, Milton will be lecturing the following courses for the Department of Computing:

ITEC803 - Advanced Topics in Networking. This unit aims to address various advanced aspects of networking, particularly the current and emerging research topics in network. The focus will be on material drawn from the recent research literature. Topics include but are not limited to label switching, VPN architectures, Inter-domain routing, advanced multicast routing models, traffic engineering, congestion control, quality of service, and multimedia networks. The unit consists of lecture, reading, discussion and assignment components. Course details may be found at https://unitguides.mq.edu.au/unit_offerings/92346/unit_guide

ITEC855 - Security and Forensic Discovery. This unit covers the fundamental technologies and processes that underpin good systems security management within modern organisations. We consider the underlying mechanics of information and communications technology security infrastructures, risk management, attack modelling, software security, firewalls, intrusion detection and forensics. Course details may be found at https://unitguides.mq.edu.au/unit_offerings/92009/unit_guide

ITEC854 - Information Security Management. This course teaches post-graduate students the practical aspects of Information Security Management and is a core subject in the post-graduate course. The 13 week course as a practical exercise, introducing students to ISO27001 and other frameworks including COBIT, PCIDSS, Sarbanes Oxley and ISM3.

Milton Baar, Cybersecurity Director, is teaching at La Trobe University as a Visiting Academic for 2017/2018. In this capacity, Milton will be creating and lecturing the following courses for the School of Engineering & Mathematical Sciences:

CSE5CFN Computer Forensics. This subject introduces the procedures related to digital forensic and investigation in a computer and a networking scenario. Students will develop an understanding of the key concepts associated with the data hiding, evidence collection and validation and traffic analysis required to perform forensic analysis in a digital environment. Students will learn about the importance of the legal considerations and documentation of forensic evidence. This subject will incorporate tutorials to teach practical forensic tools.

Swoose was invited to chair the conference and also speak on the topic "Cybersecurity as an enabler"

Improved understanding of cyber security has allowed teams to collaborate more securely and more effectively. It is important to think of cyber security as a plus, not a minus. It is an enabler for creating change and a means of better using ICT to improve efficiency and productivity. In this session, Milton will draw on his experience of public and private sector projects, including NSW Public Transport Ticketing System (Opal Card) to discuss:

• Identifying where the risks are and how to mitigate them;
• Information Security strategy and implementation; and
• Undertaking technical reviews to gain certifications.

The 2017 Theme is "Innovation in Delivery"
A digital transformation strategy will never be complete, it is a journey, not a destination. Business priorities are in a continual state of flux and as fast as systems and policies are developed - new technologies arrive and new projects are created. However, the one constant of this environment is the requirement to continually innovate to improve service delivery. To advance your understanding of the key issues we have invited top Public Sector digital leaders and experts in digital and technology focused roles to share advice and insights on innovation and strategy.
