The country’s most secretive intelligence agency has launched a recruitment push for more digital spies, as Australia counters the growing threat of espionage.
ASIS director-general Paul Symon said technology was essential to enabling and supporting operations, and keeping operational officers safe.
“Technologists arm our operational officers with advanced capabilities and they create technical solutions to complex operational challenges. They have natural curiosity, an analytical mindset and a strong desire to innovate. The role of ASIS is to protect and promote Australia’s interests through the collection of foreign intelligence.
Australian intelligence agencies have in recent years been looking to come "out of the shadows" by explaining to the public more about what they do.
