AUKUS presents an exciting opportunity to Australia, unlocking Defence capability and Industry opportunities. However, regulation of nuclear technology transfer present data security challenges for Defence and Industry. Recent AUKUS developments and supporting legislative instruments have identified the probable governance pathway for setting rules and expectations when managing participant technology transfers. This governance has not been sufficiently defined, at this stage, to provide certainty to Defence and Industry organisations as to how they will operate in a compliant manner. Notwithstanding the uncertainty, compliance requirements are likely to evolve rapidly, and any compliance management capability needs to be able to adapt at a similar pace.
Tony Howell and Daniel Lai of archTIS, an Australian sovereign information security company, will present these challenges and how enterprise-scale Attribute-based Access Control (ABAC) can support quickly changing requirements. Specifically, they will:
- Summarise some of the existing regulations (e.g., ITAR, EAR, DFARS, NIST,) and data security challenges they pose.
- Identify key enablers to establish an effective compliance and Data-Centric Security regime across Export-controlled tech data transfer and management.
- Discuss the business and technology challenges in meeting these requirements, especially in complex supply chain scenarios.
- Review the maturity of data-centric zero trust and the ABAC product landscape and where archTIS fits.
