ASX creates deputy CISO role

The Australian Securities Exchange has created a deputy chief information security officer role, with Hanlie Botha taking the inaugural post.

Botha joined ASX from Ticketek Entertainment Group (TEG), where she was its CISO for the past nine months.

She has also previously held cyber security roles with the likes of Woolworths Group and Ausgrid.

“Hanlie Botha’s appointment as deputy CISO is a new role to support ASX with the ever-increasing efforts required to protect ASX from cyber threats,” ASX CIO, Tim Whiteley told iTnews in a statement.

Botha acknowledged her appointment in a brief LinkedIn post.

“Really excited to be here, joining a great team guarding the heart of Australia's financial markets,” she wrote.

ASX's CISO Tristan Geering has held the role for the past decade, and has been with ASX for 26 years.

A TEG spokesperson was contacted for additional comment.
