Professor Jill Slay

Currently, she carries out collaborative research in Forensic Computing, Information Assurance and Critical Infrastructure Protection with industry, State and Federal Government partners in Australia, and her ongoing work focuses on 5 Category 1 funded projects in Forensic Computing.

She has extensive teaching experience in the tertiary sector at undergraduate and postgraduate level and is currently supervising 12 PhD students with 4 others recently completed. She has personally supervised more than 40 cross-disciplinary honours and coursework masters students in their theses and projects.

She is an affiliate faculty member at Idaho State University and is a Member of the Board of Directors of the International Information Systems Security Certification Consortium.

Jill has published one book and more than 90 refereed book chapters, journal articles or research papers in information assurance, critical infrastructure protection, complex systems and education.

• Jill leads research into the systems security of modern enterprises and, taking a holistic perspective, examine the provision of new technologies or processes as security controls or as a means to collect electronic evidence. With a variety of collaborators, she has instigated cross-disciplinary research that draws on social science, anthropology, law, drugs and crime, police and justice studies, as well as systems and communications engineering and IT, to achieve its aims.
• This involves research into:

  • Critical Infrastructure Protection;

  • Control System Security and Forensics;

  • Forensic Computing and Electronic Evidence;

  • Information Warfare;

  • Computer and Network Security;

  • Network and VoIP Forensics.
