Broad lessons from the Computer Network Vulnerability Assessment Program: The Computer Network Vulnerability Assessment (CNVA) Program is an Australian Government grants scheme developed to help secure critical infrastructure. It is managed by GovCERT.au-the Australian Government Computer Emergency Readiness Team, located in the Australian Government Attorney-General's Department. The program provides dollar for dollar funding to help owners and operators of critical infrastructure to identify major vulnerabilities within their ICT systems, the dependencies between their networks and to test the ability of their systems to resist exploitation. This session will explore the broad security lessons at a high level from the CNVA projects completed so far. ---------------- Cyber Storm II - an international cyber security exercise: In March 2008, the United States Department of Homeland Security's National Cyber Security Division (NCSD) sponsored its second large-scale national cyber exercise, Cyber Storm II. The exercise was massive, involving over 200 organisations from 5 nations spread across 9 time zones. This session will outline what was done and discuss some of the initial findings from the exercise.
