CSO Group appoints navy veteran Jaimie Hatcher as strategic advisor
Australian-owned and operated cyber security business CSO Group has appointed retired Royal Australian Navy ( RAN ) Rear Admiral Jaimie Hatcher AO , DSC , as Strategic Advisor .
Hatcher spent 36 years with the RAN in a range of national security roles , including in the National Security Division of the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet , as Capability Director for Australia ’ s Air Warfare Destroyer program and most recently as the Australian Defence Force ( ADF ) Deputy Chief of Joint Operations .
Lately , he has focused on cyber security risk and capability and was appointed project lead for the review of the ADF ’ s contribution to the Defence Cyber Enterprise . He is also part of a consortium providing national cyber security risk advice to the New Zealand government , where his particular responsibility is in national security and Defence .
Working closely with CSO Group ’ s CEO , Michael Simkovic , Hatcher will advise where he believes the business can deliver the greatest security outcomes , identifying gaps in government , commercial and societal cyber security systems and assessing future cybersecurity needs .
“ It ’ s promising that Australia ’ s governments are making cyber security center stage across the national security landscape . This is an important message for all Australians to understand .”
Hatcher says the ‘ industrialisation ’ of cybercrime – with the entry barrier lower than the ability to defend against it – means motivation , not skill , is now the key Driver of cybercriminal activity – a reality to which Australia needs to respond .
