Australia's critical infrastructure continues to navigate the landscape of persistent cyber threats that could disrupt essential services and impact communities. Industrial Defender is committed to aiding Australian critical infrastructure operators in bolstering their cybersecurity programs, meeting the vision outlined by the Security of Critical Infrastructure (SOCI) Act and ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements.
With the Critical Infrastructure Risk Management Program (CIRMP) requirements now in effect, Industrial Defender's proven OT platform equips operators with what they need to effectively manage their security and comply with evolving cybersecurity regulations.
The Critical Infrastructure Risk Management Program (CIRMP) has set forth rules to comply with an approved cybersecurity framework by August 2024.

Those in the energy industry, including electricity, gas, liquid fuel and energy market operators, may benefit from choosing the AESCSF Framework as their CIRMP-compliant framework of choice. It is a framework designed specifically for the Australian energy sector, developed by the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO).
Beyond the energy industry, CIRMP rules apply to critical infrastructure operators in the following sectors: communications, financial, data storage or processing, defence, education and research, food and grocery, health care, space, transport, aviation, maritime, water and sewerage sectors.
The NIST Cybersecurity Framework (NIST CSF), also known as The Framework for Improving Critical Infrastructure, also meets CIRMP’s requirements and can be applied across various industries.
