Rue Maharaj

Rue is a Cybersecurity Practitioner with over 20 years of experience across both Private (Global) and Public sector organisations.

In recent years, he's worked in Cybersecurity Defence Management in the Victorian State Critical Infrastructure sector. In this role, he's championed the Cyber Incident Response Management practice at Melbourne Water. 

Rue's passion for Cyber Incident Response Management extends beyond the organisation's ability to recover from anomalous events. He strongly believes that understanding the psychological drivers of the malicious actors behind cyber-attacks as well as the consequential impacts to our Cyber Incident Responders, organisation and wider citizens are key to building higher resiliency and stronger Cyber Incident Response Management strategies.

Rue holds academic and professional qualifications from Harvard University, The University of Auckland and The University of South Africa. 

Furthermore, he is certified in Cybersecurity Management (Certified Information Security Manager – CISM), Data Privacy (Certified Data Privacy Solutions Engineer - CDPSE), IT Audit (Certified Information Systems Auditor - CISA), Cybersecurity Controls Management (Certified Controls Specialist [CCS] and Certified Internal Controls Auditor [CICA]), and ITIL.
