Jamie Rossato steps into the chief information security officer role at Australia’s national science agency.
The CSIRO has appointed a new chief information security officer, Jamie Rossato.
Rossato comes from a stint as director of information security at Australian beverage giant Lion.
The role had previously been held by the CSIRO’s chief information officer, Brendan Dalton, whom Rossato will report to.
“We’re making sure that the changes we’re making through our cyber uplift program stick, and we’re broadening out the governance of cyber into research technology and making sure that we are risk assessing our research technology," Rossato told iTnews.
Rossato’s hiring comes as the agency works to bring its new Virga high-performance computing platform fully online. Not only will Virga be used to boost the CSIRO’s AI-related capabilities, but the new platform will also play a role in the wider digital transformation of the agency.
“There’s a focus on doing business more efficiently and the governance of that business,” Dalton told iTnews.
“And then there is almost the micro-level transformation. We’re helping the [staff] onboarding process, making it more efficient and secure – making sure they’re on the IT network.”
