In the National Interest - Critical Infrastructure as a National Security Priority

Critical infrastructure is a fundamental enabler of Australia’s national security. Australian governments over decades have recognised the need to protect critical infrastructure from evolving threats as a component of national security, yet have offered policy guidance with little effective action to achieve protection.  Government has put the onus for action onto the private sector to protect nationally critical assets and operations.   In this podcast Pentagram will focus on one subset of the myriad elements required to ensure the safety of all Australians – critical infrastructure, discussing why protecting critical infrastructure is so important that it should be a national security priority.  We will discuss the national-level threats that we need to protect critical infrastructure from.
