"Aussie Tech Breakthrough to Protect Critical Infrastructure From Cyber Attacks"
A collaboration between the tech startup Tide Foundation and RMIT University is turning groundbreaking research into a cybersecurity capability. Critical infrastructure in Australia, including ports, energy grids, and water supplies, reported 143 cyberattacks in the past year, up from 95 incidents the previous year. Clare O'Neil, Federal Minister for Cybersecurity, recently announced that 168 of the country's critical infrastructure assets would require improved cybersecurity, nearly doubling the 87 assets previously considered systems of national significance. A mathematical breakthrough now enables system access authority to be distributed invisibly and securely across a network, eliminating weak links. This enables a fundamentally new approach to critical infrastructure cybersecurity. A new joint study by Tide and RMIT mathematicians explains the new technology, dubbed "ineffable cryptography." This article continues to discuss the new technology aimed at protecting critical infrastructure from cyberattacks.
