The Department of Defence operates one of the largest and most complex ICT environments in the country.
Speaking on Defence Connect’s podcast, Leighton Freene, Managing Director – Defence and Federal Government at Kinetic IT, explains that Defence’s digital ecosystem supports between 80,000 and 120,000 users with uniformed personnel, APS staff, contractors and allied partners spread across Australia and deployed operations.
It’s a similar but different scenario for Freene who, prior to working in ICT, spent 12 years in uniform in the Australian Defence Force.
