Press: Coal Services names InfoTrust as their Security Partner
Coal Services is an Australian industry-owned Specialised Health and Safety Scheme which delivers a suite of services in relation to the NSW coal mining industry including workers compensation insurance, health surveillance, occupational hygiene monitoring, and training and rescue. Owned by industry for industry, through the NSW Minerals Council and the Construction, Forestry, Maritime, Mining and Energy Union (CFMMEU), it has been protecting workers in one form or another for more than 90 years.
The company has statutory functions that are critical to the health and safety of the industry, which presents its own set of challenges in that the status quo must be maintained at the same time as the organisation builds a new way forward.
With large data assets comes the need to protect personal information and comply with privacy policies too. To ensure these requirements are met, Coal Services has engaged InfoTrust as its security partner, who are working with Kidson at each stage of these projects to ensure that they apply the best and most trusted form of security they can.

Car manufacturers will be expected to present detailed plans for avoiding hacking of their self-driving cars under new US Department of Transportation guidelines designed to preserve safety in a sector whose massive momentum is already making it a target for hackers both curious and malicious.

Co-founders Dane Meah and Simon McKay will be stepping into Board positions while welcoming a new CEO, Keith Buckley to run the day-to-day operations and fuel the next stage of growth.
Buckley brings with him several decades of experience in the technology sector for companies including Dell, Symantec, McAfee, Riverbed and most recently Citrix, with a strong track record of taking established businesses to the next level.

Following on from Australian Prime Minister, Scott Morrison’s announcement the morning of Friday 19th June. InfoTrust has provided advice to media outlets and the general public on what they, and Australian businesses, can be doing to protect themselves against cyber attacks. Although this is not new information to many organisations, who generally have a good understanding of the cyber threats they face. The key message from the announcement was that the increased frequency, and sophistication of these attacks from a state-sponsored actor against the Australian government and businesses is of concern. The advice from the Government is to ensure you remain vigilant and cautious of any digital communication and interaction online.
I’m excited to be attending tonights awards ceremony where InfoTrust have been nominated as a finalist (in the Customer Value category) at the 2019 ARN Innovation Awards.
This recognition is particularly sweet for the InfoTrust team; a validation of the relentless focus we have towards Customer Value, or as we prefer to call it, “Customer Love”. From our inception, the focus has always been on driving customer value through an engagement model we refer to as “The InfoTrust Way”.
