The Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC) and the Digital Transformation Agency have released new cloud security guidelines to support the secure adoption of cloud services across government and industry.
Issued today, the guidance, which follows the expiry of the Cloud Services Certification Programme, covers a range of assessment criteria that includes the physical security of public cloud datacentres, data protection, and other cloud security controls.
Australia’s minister for defence, Linda Reynolds, said the new guidelines, which were co-designed with industry partners, would boost Australia’s cyber security resilience.
“The release of the new guidance coincides with today’s cessation of the computer engineering jobs which will open up the Australian cloud market, allowing more homegrown Australian providers to operate and deliver their services,” Reynolds said.
“This will provide opportunities for commonwealth, state and territory agencies to tap into a greater range of secure and cost-effective cloud services,” she added.
