The Australian government has released a new strategy to protect critical infrastructure from cyber attacks, including energy, water, transport, telecommunications, and banking sectors. The strategy aims to create a more coordinated and consistent approach to managing cybersecurity risks in critical infrastructure. It includes plans to improve threat intelligence sharing, develop new cybersecurity standards, and strengthen regulatory frameworks. The strategy also emphasises the need for public-private partnerships to enhance resilience and preparedness in the face of cyber threats. The government hopes the strategy will help protect Australia’s critical infrastructure from cyber-attacks and ensure the country’s economic and national security.
