Cyber Resilience Testing Under The CORIE Framework

The Cyber Operational Resilience Intelligence-led Exercises (CORIE) framework is a pilot programme of exercises that will mimic the Tactics, Techniques and Procedures (TTPs) of real-life adversaries, creating and utilising tools, and using techniques that may not have been anticipated and planned for.

Often touted benefits of an Information Security Management System (ISMS) that is implemented correctly and follows the spirit of the standard are:

Early last March at the ‘Data Privacy Matters’ meetup, I had the privilege of moderating a panel segment addressing the NDB Amendment & GDPR’s Impact on Australian Businesses. The panellists were Patrick Gunning, (Law Partner from King & Wood Mallesons), Fergus Brooks, (Cyber Risk National Practice Leader, at Aon Australia) and Romain Rallu, (CEO at Privasec, an independent Security firm). We spent the night discussing the applicability of the Privacy Act, being prepared for this new privacy legislation, the ramifications of ignoring the them, and exploring what is covered by insurance when it comes to Data Breaches.
