The Australian Information Security
Association (AISA) Incorporated
was formed in 1999 and incorporated
in 2001 under the name of Information
Security Interest Group (ISIG)
Incorporated. In 2006 a name
change was introduced to reflect
the professional standing of
the organisation.
Branches exist in Sydney, Melbourne,
Canberra, Brisbane and Adelaide.
We currently have over 500 paid
members and over 500 friends
on our mailing lists.
AISA is an organisation for
individuals rather than companies.
Because of this we can maintain
a truly unbiased view of security
in Australia. Our membership
ranges from company CEOs through
to highly skilled technical
security specialists and consequently
the subjects discussed at our
meetings are extremely varied.
AISA's success as a group is
largely based on the less tangible
benefits of being a member of
a body of professionals. Those
who join in effect get instant
access to a network of professionals
who are all interested in contributing
to the betterment of security
in Australia. We hold social
functions to encourage less
formal networking and provide
an excellent forum for a variety
of ideas to take shape.
AISA is a constantly evolving
and ambitious organisation,
so we are always interested
to speak with people who have
thoughts on how we can improve
and have more impact.
