TAFE NSW is actively searching for a Director of Cyber Security to join its ranks, bolstering its cybersecurity leadership. This key role will serve as the primary consultant to Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) Rohan Heyer.
The incoming Director of Cyber Security will primarily focus on governance, risk, and compliance aspects of cybersecurity. This includes strategic decision-making, overseeing risk mitigation efforts, and actively managing security audits, controls, and vulnerability assessments.
One of the director’s crucial responsibilities will be to proactively identify and address potential cybersecurity threats. This proactive approach is vital in today’s rapidly evolving threat landscape.
Expanding Cybersecurity Leadership
TAFE NSW’s decision to recruit a Director of Cyber Security suggests a commitment to enhancing its cybersecurity posture and leadership. This move comes as organizations across industries recognize the critical importance of robust cybersecurity measures.
While it’s not confirmed whether this role is entirely new or a part of TAFE NSW’s existing cybersecurity strategy, it underscores the organization’s commitment to strengthening its security leadership. TAFE NSW appears to consider this a standard recruitment practice.
Leadership Changes
This recruitment follows the departure of Rohit Vohra, TAFE NSW’s first Chief Information Security Officer, who assumed the CISO role at GrainCorp in December. Subsequently, Rohan Heyer was promoted to CISO from his prior position as Senior Manager, Security Operations in January.
TAFE NSW’s proactive stance in enhancing its cybersecurity leadership reflects the growing emphasis on cybersecurity across industries and the need for organizations to remain vigilant in the face of evolving threats.
