CREST: Australia New Zealand

Overview
The Council of Registered Ethical Security Testers (CREST) Australia New Zealand is a not-for-profit cyber security standards organisation where member companies become CREST Approved if they meet appropriate governance standards. CREST Australia New Zealand then provides accreditation and certification for employees and contractors of CREST Approved Member Companies through practical exams in penetration testing and soon other in-demand areas of cyber security. CREST certified practitioners, while being attached to CREST Approved Companies with good governance, give businesses in Australia and the region the confidence that testing of the cyber security of their networks and systems is done by skilled cyber security professionals.
