Security In Government Conference 2004

 

Events of the past few years have changed the security environment in which we live and work for the immediate and foreseeable future.The Australian Government has progressively worked towards ensuring that the right policies are in place to meet these challenges.

Effective security in all Australian Government agencies is vital to Australia's national interest.The Security in Government (SIG) Conference is an annual event, hosted by the Protective Security Coordination Centre (PSCC), as part of the ongoing security awareness program for all Australian Government agencies.

SIG is an important forum for all those involved in the Australian Government security arena.SIG is particularly relevant for any person responsible for the development, implementation and day-to-day management of security within their agency.SIG 2004 promises to attract more representatives, as protective security continues to be a government priority.

As part of the commitment by the Attorney-General's Department to whole-of-government security, the 2004 annual SIG conference took place at the National Convention Centre, Canberra on 17-19 March.

Security - Striking the Right Balance, is the main theme for this conference. The conference is an occasion for the private sector security industry to engage with Agency Security Advisers and Information Technology Security Advisers across the Australian Government.

SIG 2004 offers a tremendous opportunity.It is also a chance for delegates to develop a strategic insight into future developments in the Australian security environment.
