The Federal Government has released its first Critical Infrastructure Annual Risk Review, which provides a summary of the potential security risks faced by Australia’s critical infrastructure over the last 12 months.
The review has been launched as part of Australia’s inaugural ‘Critical Infrastructure Security Month’ and has been developed by the Cyber and Infrastructure Security Centre (CISC).
Critical infrastructure includes the essential services which are vital to Australia’s prosperity and security.
Earlier in 2023 the Federal Government introduced the Critical Infrastructure Risk Management Program obligation – a set of rules to strengthen the resilience of critical infrastructure and essential services vital to the security, prosperity and sovereignty of Australia.
Recent cyber, trusted insider, supply chain and physical attacks have highlighted the ongoing threat to critical infrastructure around the globe.
Within the Department of Home Affairs, the CISC safeguards Australia’s critical infrastructure regime in partnership with state governments, industry and the broader community.
It also helps Australian critical infrastructure owners and operators understand the risk environment and meet their regulatory requirements – for the shared benefit of all Australians.
