Australian Critical Infrastructure Protection: A Case Of Two Tales, Matthew Warren, Graeme Pye, William Hutchinson

Australian Information Warfare and Security Conference

The protection of critical infrastructures and the choices made in terms of priorities and cost, all impact upon the planning, precautions and security aspects of protecting these important systems. Often the when choices made is difficult to assess at the time the decision is taken and it is only after an incident that the truth of the choices made become fully evident. The paper focuses on two recent examples of Australian Critical Infrastructure protection and the issues that related to those examples.
