Daminda Kumara | CISO
Commonwealth Superannuation Corp

I am a cybersecurity leader with over 20 years of experience in various industries, such as construction, supply chain, refining, oil and gas, and finance. Currently, I serve as the Chief Information Security Officer at Commonwealth Superannuation Corporation (CSC), a federal government superannuation provider with over $50 billion in assets under management.

At CSC, I lead the information security strategy and operations, ensuring the protection of the corporation's assets, data, and systems from cyber threats and risks, as well as complying with relevant regulations and standards. I have a strong technical background and exceptional people management skills, which enable me to lead high-performing teams of security specialists across different domains and functions. My mission is to create practical and risk-appropriate security solutions that align with the business objectives and customer expectations. I also collaborate with internal and external stakeholders, such as auditors, regulators, vendors, and partners, to foster a culture of security awareness and best practices.
