  • On Wednesday, the Australian Signals Directorate released its 2023-24 Report into Cyber Threats in the Australian Space, a worthwhile read for understanding the risk landscape for businesses on the Sunshine Coast. The report highlights key challenges, including state-sponsored threats, critical infrastructure vulnerabilities, and the evolving tactics of cybercriminals. As cyber risks grow, collaboration between government, industry, and individuals has never been more vital. Dive into the report to understand the threats and learn how we can collectively strengthen our nation’s cyber defences.

    We’ve released our 2023-24 #AnnualCyberThreatReport. The report highlights the rapidly evolving cyber threat landscape and reinforces the need to prioritise improved cyber defences to protect our nation’s #CyberSecurity. As data continues to be produced and stored in greater volumes, the attack surface has become more exploitable, and both criminal and state-sponsored cyber actors are taking advantage of vulnerabilities and gaps. This, coupled with geopolitical uncertainty, underscores the need for strengthened cyber security. 👉 State-sponsored cyber actors are persistently targeting Australian governments and critical infrastructure. These cyber operations are evolving globally, with the capability to gather intelligence, exert malign influence and pre-position on networks for disruptive effects. This threat is likely to increase as geostrategic competition grows, requiring greater partnership between government and industry to deter this activity. 👉 Critical infrastructure services are an attractive target to malicious cyber actors. This includes essential services such as power grids, water delivery systems, transport networks and health services. Of particular concern are operational technology systems. These are often not secure by design and many traditional security controls cannot be applied, making it likely that malicious cyber targeting of these systems will rise. 👉 Cybercrime is an evolving and persistent threat. Cybercriminals are evolving their tactics and capitalising on new opportunities, like artificial intelligence, to exploit victims. 👉 Collaboration across public and private sectors is key to effective cyber resilience. This report is only possible because Australians reported cybercrime, incidents and vulnerabilities to us. All Australians should report incidents to make us collectively stronger and put cyber threats on everyone’s radar. Learn more about the evolving cyber threat landscape in our report 👉 https://lnkd.in/gXUaip6X ASD thanks all of the organisations that contributed to this report, including: ACCC, Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, Australian Federal Police, Australian Institute of Criminology, Australian Security Intelligence Organisation, Defence Intelligence Organisation, Australian Department of Home Affairs, National Cyber Security Coordinator, Office of the Australian Information Commissioner & Reserve Bank of Australia
