Information Assurance Advisory Council

The Information Assurance Advisory Council (IAAC) is a unique partnership that brings together corporate leaders, public policy makers, law enforcement and the research community to address the challenges of information infrastructure protection.

They are engaged in the development of policy recommendations to government and corporate leaders at the highest levels. Their recommendations are influential because IAAC's Sponsors and Members comprise leading commercial end-users, government policy makers and the research community.

At the end of 2002, IAAC introduced the idea of Cyber Hood Watch with a view to empowering the digital citizen. Awareness would be raised and citizens would recognise their responsibility for protecting themselves and become more risk-aware and literate. It envisages a nation-wide network of community groups that collect, disseminate and share information and advice about information security incidents.
