Australian Signals Directorate

The Australian Signals Directorate’s (ASD’s) purpose is to defend Australia from global threats and help advance Australia’s national interests. We do this by mastering technology to inform, protect and disrupt.

• Informing – by the covert acquisition of foreign information not publicly available (signals intelligence)
• Protecting – by comprehensively understanding the cyber threat, providing proactive advice and assistance to improve the management of cyber risk by government, business and the community
• Disrupting – by applying our offensive cyber capabilities offshore, to support military operations, counter-terrorism, counter cyber espionage and serious cyber-enabled crime.

ASD’s workforce operates in the slim area between the difficult and the impossible. Solving the toughest problems in foreign signals intelligence, cyber security and offensive cyber operations requires teams of clever, curious people with diverse and complementary skills. Details of our signals intelligence and cyber capabilities are necessarily secret. However, the roles required by those capabilities are not secret. We need a broad range of skills that encompasses analyst and technologist roles, as well as corporate and enabling services.

Our analysts and technologists use their skills in mathematics and computer science to solve cryptological problems, investigate large and complex data sets, and develop new methods of analysing and exploiting data which may utilise Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning.
