The Critical Infratructure Annual Risk Review is an important document because it affords critical infrastructure owners and operators a baseline appreciation of the threats, and hence risks, they may face. I say ‘baseline’ because the Review does not contain classified information but will reflect both publicly available and distilled classified information. DHA acknowledges that asset owners need to, and are equipped to, contextualise the information in the Review with unique information they have, based on their operating context, to determine the threats and risks most relevant to keeping their critical assets secure and operational. I look forward to Review number two.

Last year, we released the first edition of the Critical Infrastructure Annual Risk Review! This review provides a summary of the key risk-driven issues that affected Australia’s critical infrastructure over the preceding 12 months. The key points include: 🔸 Foreign involvement is infiltrating all areas of the delivery of critical infrastructure; 🔸Australia’s critical infrastructure sectors are deeply interconnected; 🔸significant disruption in one sector will affect other sectors; 🔸 post-pandemic corporate activity is increasing the touch points for foreign government contact and influence operations; and 🔸 collectively, insiders are one of the most attractive targets for malicious foreign actors. These risks are real and effect every critical infrastructure asset, it is essential for everyone to be aware of these risks to ensure Australian critical infrastructure is secure and resilient.
