This federal department runs a large international network and provides communications services to other departments in Canberra. Atamo was brought in to assess operations of managing this network.

Services provided

Atamo spent a few weeks with staff that both monitored the network and maintained the tools to do so. Our goal was to spot any vulnerabilities and recommend improvements which would scale as the network grew.

We provided two reports:

• The results of our audit - an independent review of staffing and organisation, processes, and tools.
• A scoping document on the next work to do to reduce risk. For example, the tools used to monitor the network consisted of both commercial packages and scripts. Both of these needed to be controlled, and Atamo suggested installing cvs, a simple, effective, and free version control system.
