Enhancing cyber security of critical infrastructure

Critical Infrastructure, Networks & Cloud (Nicholls Theatrette)

Over the past decades, our critical infrastructure has increasingly become privatised, softwarised, interconnected and interdependent.

This presentation will explain that it is availability that defines infrastructure as critical, but also that availability is still the least understood concept in the well-known CIA triad of cyber security. At the Innovation Central Canberra, we started an open research program in the context of the National Industry Innovation Network, focussing on cyber security of critical infrastructure and with Zero-Trust Architectures as a key pillar.
