#RiskManagement #Security #CriticalInfrastructure "It is not surprising that Australia’s telecommunications sector is still developing #resilience. Until now, the sector has lacked a well-defined framework for resilience, encompassing its regulatory scope and policy implications. Ambiguity results in inefficient resource allocation and missed opportunities for improvements. " "Telecommunications increasingly underpin interdependent critical sectors such as energy, finance, healthcare and transportation. Therefore, the consequences of ineffective policy and insufficient coordination ripple far beyond the industry itself, potentially impacting essential services and daily life for millions... " "By taking an all-hazards and sector-wide approach, this Profile has developed a framework to cement telecommunications' resilience in policy and operational practice. " "Assessed against the Sector Resilience Maturity Model, the Australian telecommunications sector is at the ‘Developing (2)’ level of resilience maturity. This level indicates that basic resilience measures are in place, including initial efforts to coordinate sector-wide." "Telecommunications networks have been particularly tested over the past five years. In response to a range of disruptions, individual network providers have displayed remarkable strengths to rapidly restore services, adapt to evolving challenges, and maintain essential connectivity for millions of users. One example is the extraordinary efforts to maintain effective services during the COVID-19 pandemic, when capacity limits were stretched as millions of Australians shifted their work into their homes." "Today, telecommunications connectivity underpins nearly every aspect of our lives, from personal communications to global commerce, healthcare, and national security. It connects communities, empowers businesses, and drives innovation. In 2020, the Australian Government classed the telecommunications sector as critical national infrastructure. This marked a significant shift in its governance and underscored its importance to the nation’s functioning, security, and prosperity." #security #securityriskmanagement #securitymanagement #securityrisks #enterprisesecurity #cybersecurity #physicalsecurity #informationsecurity #digitalsecurity #securityoperations #enterprisesecurityriskmanagement #securityassessment #intelligence #threatlintelligence #risk #riskmanagement #safety #safetyfirst #safetymanagement #safetyassessment #safetyrisks #safetyculture #safetyanalysis #personalsafety #workplacesafety #healthandsafety #hazard #danger #peril #threat #PPE #protectivesafety #workplacesafety #risk #risks #enterpriserisk #enterprisesecurityriskmanagement #intelligence #threatlintelligence #riskmanagement #riskanalysis #riskassessment #riskmanagementframework #operationalriskmanagement #projectriskmanagement #projectrisk #operationalresilience #resilience #operationalrisk #riskintelligence #governance #crisis #crisismanagement

𝐂𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐫𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐬 are those physical or virtual systems that provide essential services for the functioning of society in various aspects, such as social, economic, environmental and political. These infrastructures cover a wide range of sectors, such as energy, transportation, communications, water supply, emergency services, the financial sector or healthcare, among others. The importance of critical infrastructures lies in the fact that their interruption or alteration can have serious consequences for the normal development of society's daily activities. A failure in these infrastructures can affect the safety of people, the economy, the provision of basic services, the continuity of business operations, the environment and political stability. That is why it is essential to protect and safeguard critical infrastructures against threats, whether natural or man-made, such as natural disasters, cyber-attacks, acts of terrorism or sabotage. Governments, organizations and critical infrastructure operators work to implement security, resilience and recovery measures that minimize the risk of disruption and ensure the continuity of essential services to society. Critical infrastructure protection is a crucial aspect of homeland security and requires close collaboration between the public and private sectors, as well as the implementation of comprehensive risk management and incident response strategies to mitigate threats and ensure the resilience of these infrastructures in the event of an incident or crisis.

In 2024 maintaining supply chain resilience has arguably never been more challenging! A complex interaction of risks is currently creating huge pressures on the global supply chain, including economic factors, rising prices, international conflict and extreme weather conditions. However, the latest Horizon Scan Report 2023 from The BCI, states that cyber attacks are now top of the risk list for businesses in 2024, as these types of incidents continue to grow and organisations are being targeted with increasingly sophisticated attacks.
