CAUDIT leads the Australasian Higher Education Cybersecurity Service (AHECS), a higher education sector collective that leverages the capabilities and expertise of its partner entities to strengthen the overall cybersecurity posture of the sector. AHECS also acts as a central body, representing the sector on cybersecurity issues.
AHECS’s purpose is aligned to the principles of being stronger together and ‘all boats lift on a rising tide’. Each partner brings unique strengths and services to AHECS, to form a collective developed specifically for the sector by the sector which addresses capability gaps and helps defend the sector from continuously evolving cybersecurity threats.
In addition to CAUDIT, AHECS partners include AAF (Australian Access Federation authentication and identity verification), AARNet (Australia’s national research and education network and provider of a portfolio of cyber security services), AusCERT (Australia’s Cybersecurity Emergency Response Team), and REANNZ (New Zealand’s national research and education network and Cybersecurity Emergency Response Team).
CAUDIT and AHECS are supported by a range of industry leaders who work with us to deliver real-time threat intelligence, relevant training and education, and sector wide procurement savings.
We are delighted to work alongside Radware as our cybersecurity partner for 2022.
