Definition & Explanation

Cyber security management

Cyber security management is the structured oversight of an organisation’s cybersecurity program, including risk assessment, control implementation, monitoring, and governance reporting. In the Australian context, cyber security management must align with regulatory expectations such as APRA CPS 234, the SOCI Act, and privacy legislation. It involves establishing policies, defining risk appetite, managing third-party exposure, and maintaining incident response capabilities. Cyber security management integrates technical security operations with executive-level reporting, ensuring boards have visibility over cyber risk posture. Effective management includes vulnerability management programs, security awareness training, asset classification, and business continuity planning. By embedding cyber security management into enterprise governance structures, organisations enhance accountability, reduce exposure to emerging threats, and support long-term operational resilience.
