In managing cybersecurity globally, there has been a paradigm shift from critical infrastructure protection to resilience. This reflects the increasing recognition that preventing all threats is unrealistic and that systems must be capable of adapting, recovering, and continuing to operate in the face of disruptions, whether they are climate-related, cyber and technological, or geo-economic.
Governments and private operators, while aligned on protecting critical assets, differ in their views on resilience requirements. This year, the Australian Signals Directorate lamented a decline in the "frequency and richness" of cyber incident data shared with it by the private sector, underlining - it says - the importance of restoring trusted channels for information exchange. Consumer expectations and dependence on the availability of services have surged in recent years, making disruptions increasingly unacceptable.
Sector resilience requires balancing the sharing of information, collaboration between government-industry and industry-industry, and cost distribution. Current Australian requirements are not incentivising trust-building and overall system benefits. Those able to leverage the value of data while fulfilling their social and regulatory obligations have a clear competitive advantage. What does this means to organisations in the Australian context?
