4.1. New structure

During July 2014, Thomas King took over the role of General Manager, AusCERT. A new internal structure was implemented for AusCERT to facilitate increased service delivery to its members. • Kathryn Kerr took over responsibility for managing AusCERT’s membership of over 250 members, including operating the Certificate Service for higher education and research members. • Mike Holm incorporated development and infrastructure into his existing Operations Team of information security analysts. • Claire Groves manages AusCERT’s events including the major AusCERT Conference. In August 2014, Thomas initiated a comprehensive review of AusCERT’s operations, processes and member services. As part of this process AusCERT consulted with a broad range of members to determine improvements to existing services, and what new services members would like AusCERT to develop on their behalf.
