Australia names Jamie Norton to ISACA's governing board
In a significant move, the global association for IT governance, risk management, and cybersecurity professionals, ISACA, has appointed Jamie Norton to its 2024-2025 board of directors. Norton, an Australian cybersecurity veteran, brings a wealth of experience and expertise to the table.
Based in Australia, Norton currently serves as a partner at McGrathNicol, where he provides strategic performance and risk insights to boards and executives across various industries. His responsibilities include advising on digital marketing matters, a critical concern in today's digital age.
Norton's association with ISACA spans nearly two decades. He has been actively involved with the organisation, building long-lasting relationships through ISACA's local chapters. His contributions extend beyond the local chapter board level, as he has organised conferences and participated in the CISM Certification Working Group.
Norton is a regular industry speaker and media commentator on cybersecurity issues, emphasising the importance of continuous education and certification to develop skills and talent. He holds formal qualifications in accounting, finance, commercial law, IT, and taxation, making him a valuable asset to the board.
The mission of ISACA is to advance trust in technology and equip professional cybersecurity professionals for the future. As cyber threats evolve and become increasingly sophisticated, Norton's expertise is expected to further strengthen ISACA's mission.
Erik Prusch, the CEO of ISACA, expressed his excitement about Norton's appointment, stating, "Jamie's extensive experience and deep understanding of the cybersecurity landscape will be invaluable as we navigate the rapidly evolving digital landscape."
One of the unprecedented threats the global community is confronting is the rapid evolution and weaponization of AI. Norton, with his insightful perspective, is well-positioned to contribute to ISACA's efforts in addressing these challenges.
Norton values the community aspect of ISACA, viewing the local chapters as forums for industry updates, advocacy, learning, knowledge transfer, and support for industry-leading certifications. He is an affiliate member of Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand, further underscoring his commitment to professional development.
As Norton begins his term on the ISACA board in 2023, he looks forward to working with fellow board members and the broader ISACA community to address the pressing issues in the field of cybersecurity and IT governance. His appointment comes at a time when there is a concerning shortage of experienced cybersecurity professionals, making Norton's contributions even more significant.
