Aegis9 and Australian Data Centres announced a strategic partnership to provide customers access to a shared or dedicated cyber security operation centre, with stringent controls to assure both the security and reliability of the complete supply chain. The partnership will deliver Aegis9’s next-generation cyber security operations and platform hosted and managed by Australian Data Centres within its state-of-the-art secure data centre facility in Canberra.
“Aegis9 is thrilled to be part of such an exciting venture that brings together the key elements of security and sovereignty to protect critical data and services” said Ben Aldridge, co-founder and CEO of Aegis9. “This initiative allows us to provide an end-to-end capability that can deliver scalable and comprehensive security solutions to government, private industry and critical infrastructure. Over the coming weeks, we’ll be socialising our extensive capability roadmap, which is reflective of the thought leadership behind the design and build.”
The Cyber Security Operation Centre is being developed and managed by Aegis9 and will be available from a Zone 4 accredited (physical security) floor space within the Australian Data Centre facility. Australian Data Centre has reserved additional space to expand operations and accommodate multiple clients requiring their own dedicated secure compartmented spaces.
“Security is paramount to our customers and our offering includes both a Cyber Security Operations Centre (CSOC) and a customer focused security accreditation and governance framework adaptable to the Government’s security framework that is consistent with existing policies and procedures,” said Rob Kelly, managing director, Australian Data Centres. “An ongoing security management programme with cyclical compliance, assurance, and accreditation activities, such as penetration testing and IRAP assessments, will be implemented to give ongoing confidence that our hybrid and multi-cloud solution, and the systems it hosts, remain secure.”
The manned, operational Cyber Security Operation Centre will constantly monitor a customer’s cloud and on-premise environments, the clear and Dark Web for customer information and the global threat landscape and enable correlation between multiple cloud provider environments and on-premise networks for a single customer, while maintaining the required data segregation. It will provide a holistic view of the threat environment, including insider threat, and a coordinated response mechanism. The centre can integrate into existing operational centres, including ticketing back through ITSM tools.
