- coordinating and leveraging existing resilient services
- delivering new fit-for-purpose services
- maturing sector cybersecurity capabilities – people, processes, technology

AHECS services include provision of:
- training to improve the cybersecurity posture and capability of AHECS stakeholders
- benchmarking, health checks, maturity assessments
- good practice guides, advocacy, advice
- threat intelligence
- target events
- facilitation of collaboration and security services
In addition to the direct provision of support, CAUDIT performs a valuable coordinating and advisory role, working together in a trusted community, delivering economies of scale and helping mature sector cybersecurity capabilities – people, processes, technology.
CAUDIT members prioritised this initiative for implementation in 2018. A Director, Cybersecurity Program commenced in January 2020 to drive the program of work.
