SESSION OVERVIEW

The Australian Government’s Security Legislation Amendment (Critical Infrastructure) Bill 2020 and the Security of Critical Infrastructure Act 2018 will see minimum cybersecurity standards applied to operators of important assets.

The Australian Government wants to extend a regulatory cybersecurity framework across 11 critical sectors and their attendant systems. The framework aims to protect key supply chains and infrastructure in the event of a serious security threat. Australia’s Cyber Security Industry Advisory Committee has warned the country needs to stay the course, investing money and resources along the way. 

This panel session will consider; 
  • The functional requirements needed for government and private operators to work together;
  • National and International cyber-attack trends on critical infrastructure;
  • System Convergence between Operational Technology (OT) and Information Technology (IT); and
  • Insights from Critical Infrastructure operators in protecting their systems.
