CREST International has established its Chapter in Australia and will be holding examinations across the region from next month. The move has come to offer increased consistency with its accreditations and certifications across the globe. Members in the Australasia region will now also have access to all CREST disciplines including penetration testing, threat intelligence, cyber security incident response and SOC accreditation.
Qualifications to be offered, which up until recently only included those covering penetration testing, will include those for cyber security incident response and intrusion analysis, threat intelligence, and simulated targeted attack and response.
“The Chapter aims to ensure buyers across the region can access the whole range of CREST services,” explains Ian Glover, CREST President. “It is important that all of its qualifications are available to anyone around the globe and best practice is well established. We will be working alongside government, the commonwealth government, ACSC and not for profits.”
CREST International and its members help to define and influence the strategy and professionalism of the technical information security industry. Through it, the buying community has the assurance that its member companies deliver the highest standard of advice, guidance and services using the highest skilled, knowledgeable and competent staff with its Certified, Registered and Practitioner level consultants the most sought after in the world.
CREST’s YouTube channel content has also been expanded to Australasia so people can see the benefits of becoming members of the CREST International community, the consistency of those benefits and that as an industry it is open and inclusive on a truly global scale when it comes to cyber security issues of any kind.
