AUSCSEC’S CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

  • Mentoring – AUSCSEC Directors are passionate about cyber security; they also strongly believe in building long-lasting relationships
  • Each of the Directors has a unique connection back to their grass-roots and knows how important it is to give back by helping someone to improve their knowledge and learnings. AUSCSEC believes it is a privilege to help people to build their careers by passing on knowledge and valuable lessons learned.

  • Mentoring is beneficial to both the Mentee and the Mentor. Mentoring sharpens your mind and re-tests your thinking on issues. Mentoring forces you to re-engage your listening skills and reminds you that quiet reflection and listening to someone can reshape and reinvigorate your own ideas. Mentoring makes you a better communicator and provides endless opportunities for your Mentee to use you as a sounding board for their great ideas and provides them with a safe sandbox to voice their ideas. To have the chance to shape the next generation of cyber security aware leaders is one opportunity that AUSCSEC Directors don’t want to miss
  • Ultimately, our vision is to help build a cyber-resilient community. Mentoring provides an opportunity to help shape local attitudes to cyber and by doing so, helping to contribute to building a cyber-resilient nation
