Cybersecurity hiring in Australia

The major banks and the public sector dominate demand, sharply amplified after the 2022 Optus and Medibank breaches and the 2023-2030 Cyber Security Strategy. The ASD Essential Eight is the defining local framework, and APRA CPS 234 governs financial-sector security.
