SFIA Skills Related to engagement activity
This AI activity is inte
elated to various factors of the SFIA skills related framework, like virtual Chatbot, autonomous flying, sports analytics and activities; security and surveillances. Along with this the AI skills can be used in the field of agriculture and farming, retail, shopping and fashion technology, production and manufacturing, self driven cars and automated vehicles, healthcare and medical imagining evaluation and in warehouse, logistics and supply chain management.
Methods and Tools: Level 7 – we observed that the AI na
ow intelligence is used for performing na
ow tasks like recognition of the human speech and convert it into machine level language using natural and personalized ways. Examples are Google Assistant, Cortana or Alexa. We also observed that AI general intelligence illustrates the universal cognitive abilities of the human beings like intensive calculations and processing the data at incredible speed. AlphaGo is a computer program for playing board game GO. As per our observation AI super intelligence is a feature which surpasses human intelligence and is a thing of the future. It will be used for decision making, creating emotional relationship and making arts and diagrams.
Project Management: Level 7 – We discussed with the AI project management team it was discovered that the AI activities are implemented on a large scale. Hence I would classify AI being related to level 7 of SFIA skills.
This activity linked to Machine Learning are related to various factors of the SFIA skills framework which are used in the fields of forecasting, web related services, online tutorials and Automated machine learning.
Methods and Tools: Level 6: we observed that the methodologies and tools used at this level in ML are used for identification like trend analysis and auto tagging. We observed that it is used in multiple classifications and making them connected with each other; used for activities like ranking and prioritization.
Project management: Level 7: We further observed that Recommendation and Prediction are the two other level of ML which is used in the field of weather prediction and assisting the farmers during agriculture through satellite images. Thus after observing these projects implemented by the ML teams it was decided by me that they are handling small sized project restricted to specific regions and hence they are classified as being within Level 7 of SFIA skills.
This activity is linked to Ba
acuda are related to various factors of the SFIA skills framework which are used in the fields of security, networking, cloud services and storage of network based applications.
Method and Tools: Level 5 – Ba
acuda launched the spam and virus firewall which was found to be used by large enterprises and Internet Service Providers.
Project Management: Level 5: we also had an opportunity to discuss with the project management team of Ba
acuda and found that their project are of medium sized and hence I classified this as being related to Level 5 within SFIA
Connection to Webinar - Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning in Unity CBoK Knowledge
This activity covered various aspects of the CBoK. We discussed with the project leads responsible for the management of projects related to AI, ML and Ba
acuda. We found that these managers have years of experience in the automation industry.
We also observed and based on this evaluated that the employees working on AI, ML and Ba
acuda are based on their skills and efficiency acquired over a period of time in automation, security management, trend analysis and classification like that of AI in making playing game board ‘Go’, it can be stated that most of the employees had AQF level 7 training.
Reflection
All these models act as a package which helps in the creating games and three dimensional robots. Through this the developers are able to alter and implement the AI and ML agents as per their requirements. Ba
acuda is a tool which helps the Machine learning (ML) to work effectively without any e
ors. Thus the tools used for ML helps in creating agents which assists to generate and execute plans. The presenter Marek Marchelwicz was able to show the basic process of the three tools effectively through this webinar. Therefore, this enabled us to know and understand what machine learning and Artificial intelligence is all about.

Topic 2: Webinar: Cyber Security - Is a secure future possible?
Introduction
This is a webinar on cyber security which is presented by John Williams. This was a webinar which was participated by 200 attendees from different locations in Australia and globally. The webinar was conducted in the most synchronised manned by delivering due respect to all the custodians and owner of the land from where the webinar was held; the elders, the aboriginal and To
es islander people of the country and the entire community. The main purpose of this webinar is to discuss on the importance of cyber security and its future developmental plans. As per a research conducted by side desert security ventures, the global cyber crime costs is expected to grow to more than 15% over the next five years which will make the costs to $10.5 trillion by 2025 from $3 trillion in 2015. Also, by 2026 there is expectation that there will be more than 18000 cyber security professionals. There will be number of cyber security course which will be delivered in Australian Universities like cyber defense, cyber criminology and criminology cryptography. There are number of participants who are found to have delivered their viewpoint on the future of cyber security. The same will be discussed and analysed in details.
SFIA Skills Related to engagement activity
This activity is related to several aspects of SFIA skills framework which is specific to the government agencies and private organizations facing issues related to hacking and cyber threats.
Methods and Tools: Level 9: As we observed that the methodologies required acquiring the skills requires a master degree. The graduates’ who will learn of the various cyber security threats and management, needs to have foundational, cognitive, technical and good communication skills. They also need to undertake routine activities and identify as well as report on simple issues and problems for becoming experts. Further, we also discussed on the various cyber security tools used to protect the organizational system from cyber threats. These tools are firewalls, public key infrastructure, outsourced cyber security services through MDR or managed detection and response; antivirus software, penetration testing and highly sophisticated training to the employees of the organizations.
Project Management: Level – 9: we had an opportunity to discuss this issue with the project management team during the webinar where we found that the cyber security threats are an important issue and a matter of concern especially for the government organization which consists of huge database of people. Hence, management and securing these is a matter of concern and requires huge skills and efficiency. The projects that are being management by the team are mostly government and large private sectors and hence I would classify this as relating to level 9 within SFIA skills.
Penetration Testers: Level 8 – we observed that the employees are generally ethical hackers who are responsible for testing the networks, system and the applications and look for the vulnerabilities which can restrict the malicious attacks.
Connection to Webinar: Cyber Security - Is a secure future possible? CBoK Knowledge
The Cybersecurity activities covered varied aspects of CBoK knowledge. We had a discussion with the project team and their leads responsible for managing various aspects of the cyber security projects. These projects were mostly in government organizations and large private companies where there are threats of the information being hacked, malware or ransomware. The project managers were chief security office and chief information security officer who are responsible for implementation of the security physically throughout the organization and monitoring of the IT security of all the departments of the organization.
We also discovered that the employees’ works in a range of specific areas like penetration testers, security architects, security engineers and analysts who are mainly responsible for identification, controlling, planning, analysing, quality control of the organizational system and most of these employees had already cleared AQF level 8 & 9 training.
Reflection
The above discussion was really a fantastic topic where the discussion was to protect the public health system and data during the covid-19 pandemic situation from the hackers. The presentation was focused on hackers, but the main spotlight will be on vulnerabilities which are the first place of the problem. Also, the software installed to protect the hacking and its accountability if hacking occurs needs to be reviewed by the project teams. The ultimate aim of the cyber security by the project team will be to protect against any kind of unauthorised exploration by hackers in the organizational system and in their networks. This is because if the cyber hackers are able to penetrate the organizational system then it can have devastating impacts resulting in damage, unauthorised access of data and customer records which can be of financial nature i.e. bank information, passwords, balance etc. Therefore, it is essential to develop updated Cybersecurity tools and advanced methodologies which can help to detect as well as protect from cyber threats.
