Benjamin Wise is a Chief Information Security Officer at Western Sydney University. Colleagues describe him as "Ben started when Commsec was undergoing a period of transition. He got up to speed in a very quick time and positively contributed to the implementation of a number of new security technologies and controls within Commsec, which were later adopted bank wide. He helped secured Commsec (Australia's biggest online broker), CommSee (CBA's bank wide CRM ) and a number of other critical internal and internet facing systems. He has a positive can do attitude and dealt with problems and ambiguity in an effective manner. He's become one of, if not the best penetration testers within the bank and has a clear view of the security layers and potential breaks between the layers. He handles testing in a professional manner. I would have no hesitation recommended as a key member of any security team.", "Ben has demonstrated an in depth knowledge of security and a high level of customer engagement skills over the last few years.This is a combination that is not often seen in the security field and would benefit any organisation he chose to work for. He works very well in a team and is one of those teammembers that acts as a magnet for other good resources to join and stay.", and "Ben's main role at Mytek was as a Call Centre Team Leader but he quickly demonstrated a wide variety of skills and became actively involved with Mytek's onsite services and developing procedures as well. Excellent personal and professional skills made Ben my number one choice to work with key clients and complex technical issues. I received many glowing comments on both his work, his attention to detail, and his customer care. I would welcome working with Ben again any time."
