As more critical infrastructure is digitalised to respond to the increasing needs of society, the attack surface increases and with it, the prospect of life-threatening disruption.
As the largest provider of managed security services to the Australian Department of Defence, Verizon is uniquely positioned to help industry respond. Our global expertise in security and threat monitoring helps prevent breaches and minimize impact should a security incident occur.
Securing how we work, live and play
Over 25% of all incidents the Australian Cyber Security Centre responded to in 2021 were against critical infrastructure targets. Read about the threats, the actors behind them and what practical steps you can take to help mitigate the risk.
New legislation expands the definition of critical infrastructure.
New legislation, COVID disruption and escalating cybersecurity threats have highlighted how vital critical infrastructure is to how we live, work and play.
Recent amendments to the Security of Critical Infrastructure Act 2018 (Cth) (the SOCI Act) expand the definitions of critical infrastructure to encompass a wide range of industry sectors.
The amendments also create a national register of assets, outline new federal powers and introduces new ‘positive security’ obligations.
Security isn’t something you claim, it’s something you prove.
As a specialist provider of communications, network and security solutions across Australia and New Zealand, Verizon can cut through industry standards (ISO27001), national standards (ISM, IRAP, NIST CSF etc) and vertical standards (APRA CPS234). This can help clear your pathway to better security program integration across your enterprise.
