Representatives of Australian critical infrastructure providers have expressed concern that delivering information to the government under its amended National Broadband Network legislation could be costly and conflict with anti-terrorism rules.
The general manager of security and emergency management for Woodside Petroleum has publicly accused government staff of leaking commercially sensitive information that was provided under the Trusted Information Sharing Network (TISN).
A senior technology auditor has raised concerns that his profession is unaware of the risks to critical infrastructure systems as more move from proprietary networks to open, public technologies.
The scope of a closely watched survey of computer crime and security in Australia has been expanded with critical infrastructure providers in particular urged by the Attorney-General's Department to participate.
IT managers and senior executives at organisations responsible for Australia's "critical infrastructure" will next year get tighter guidelines about managing their corporate information networks and IT security.
