Understanding and measuring cyber culture enables organisations to reduce human risk, improve security outcomes, and foster a culture of resilience. The AUSCERT Cyber Leaders Network Cyber Culture Metrics Working Group have developed a practical tool for organisations to assess the maturity of their cyber security culture, benchmark performance, and prioritise improvements that reduce human cyber risk. The Cyber Culture Maturity Model (CCMM) measurement instrument provides a: Diagnostic Tool (6 dimensions aligned with NCSC Iceberg model, 5 questions each) Linkage to Theoretical Foundation Cyber Culture Measurement Score CCMM Reference for Improvements The tool is freely available for download: AUSCERT – CLN – Cyber Culture Maturity Model Instrument Macro (Excel)   Tim Lane (CISO, TURSA) unveiled this tool in his presentation at the AUSCERT2026 Conference in May 2026. The presentation recording is available below.

As quantum computing moves from research to operational reality, organisations need to address emerging risks, supply chain vulnerabilities, and evolving regulatory requirements. The AUSCERT Cyber Leaders Network Quantum Computing Working Group have developed some practical tools for organisations to evaluate their current exposure, engage vendors, prioritise investment, and build operational resilience. The Executive Briefing helps boards and executives understand quantum-related risks, regulatory obligations, and strategic planning considerations.  The Vendor Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) Questionnaire enables organisations to assess the quantum readiness of third-party suppliers and identify potential supply chain risks. The Cryptographic Bill of Materials (CBOM) provides a structured framework for inventorying and auditing internal cryptographic assets and risk.

The following white paper explores the evolving role of Computer Emergency Response Teams (CERTs) in a rapidly changing cyber threat landscape. Authored by AUSCERT and informed by more than three decades of operational experience, it examines how CERT models, mandates, and coordination mechanisms must adapt to meet the demands of 2026 and beyond.

Third-party providers remain one of the biggest blind spots in cyber security. With most major breaches originating from third-party vulnerabilities, it’s critical to assess and manage these relationships with precision. Developed by the Cyber Leaders Network’s Third-Party Risk Management working group, this resource offers a practical framework to help security teams make informed decisions and reduce exposure: Third-Party Risk and Contract Management Decision Tree Toolkit A webinar recording outlining the use of this toolkit is available to watch here.
