The Australian Cyber Security Centre's (ACSC) Cyber Enhanced Situational Awareness and Response (CESAR) program, aims to undertake a range of activities to make Australia the safest country in the world to connect and conduct business on-line:

• Disrupt cyber crime
• Persistent visibility of Critical Infrastructure IT network security
• Cyber Threat Intelligence
• Improved engagement across government, industry and community
• Improved cyber situational awareness

In the role, you will be responsible for the creation, iteration, and maintenance of architecture within the key realm of Cloud embodying the key principles, methods and models that describe the organisation's future state, and that enable its evolution across the ACSC. This typically involves the interpretation of business goals and drivers; the translation of business strategy and objectives into an “operating model”; the strategic assessment of current capabilities; the identification of required changes in capabilities; and the description of inter-relationships between people, organisation, service, process, data, information, technology and the external environment.

The architecture development process supports the formation of the constraints, standards and guiding principles necessary to define assure and govern the required evolution; this facilitates change in the organisation's structure, business processes, systems and infrastructure in order to achieve predictable transition to the intended state.

The Capability delivered will enhance Australia’s National Cyber Security Capability.

Note: Organisational Suitability Assessment – An Organisational Suitability Assessment (OSA) is a mandatory requirement for contracted staff working in ASD beyond 12 months. Before submitting an applicant for this position, they must have considered their preparedness for questions that may include the following topics: personal relationships, living circumstances, personal values, financial situation, physical and mental health history including substance use, and any civil and/or military record.

OSA’s are conducted to determine suitability to work in a high security environment. All employees must obtain and maintain the required security clearance to work in ASD.

If you are currently employed in the Australian Intelligence Community or the ADF, you will be provided with feedback on your OSA if the outcome has an adverse bearing on your current employment. No feedback will be provided on the outcome of the psychological assessment process to any other applicant.
