Exploring technical and operational innovations impacting the world of forensic investigation

Exploring technical and operational innovations impacting the world The field of forensics is a very scientific and extremely detailed discipline.

The initiative was developed because for every one of the more than 315,000 births in Australia each year, a parent can have “up to 7 interactions with government agencies to register the birth and enrol the child in Medicare and Centrelink.” Not only does this result in “unnecessary duplication,” but it creates opportunities for mistakes, and thus “approximately 30% of birth registrations have errors requiring follow-up” by either government agencies, parents, or both. Part of the reason why there are so many interactions is because the current process requires parents to register with three separate agencies, even though they are …

In our connected world, when all industries are using technology and the internet for work as much as for communication and entertainment, it is important to ensure that the networks are safe and secure, and that the policy settings are appropriate. ““Securing our networks is about people, processes and technology. Our job is to protect the organisation from the world, but also to protect the world from our organisation. Last year we blocked over 190,000 viruses, and we also had to stop inquisitive students trying to penetrate our systems.”” Steve Woodhouse, Chief Information Security Officer, Department of Education (QLD) ““To …

APIs in the Public Sector

Public sector institutions largely exist to improve the lives of citizens, and Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) are a technology that can assist in achieving that goal. This paper follows the journeys of three public sector experts as they developed and use API tech to improve services and improve the lives of citizens. APIs can make things more integrated, can allow for the secure sharing of information across jurisdictions, can reduce duplication and operational costs, and ultimately, can improve government services and change lives. The lessons from these journeys can be applied across public sector institutions everywhere.
