Christmas sometimes brings presents you don’t expect this year, for me, an excitingly titled ‘Request for expressions of interest’ that appeared on AusTender is one of them. It’s about Australia’s peak intelligence agency, the Office of National Intelligence, beginning an essential, radical and rapid shift into cloud applications and services at the highly classified top secret level of capability. That’s big news.
It’d be interesting but not so important if this approach were just about ONI, but it’s not. The AusTender documentation says the aim is for all 10 agencies that make up Australia’s national intelligence community to be part of a highly secure private cloud.
