ICYMI, the six-month Critical Infrastructure Risk Management Program (CIRMP) obligation grace period has ended. From 18 August 2023, critical infrastructure entities in Australia are expected to have implemented the risk management program for their critical infrastructure asset (CIRMP).


According to the Cyber and Infrastructure Security Centre (CISC), under the CIRMP, critical infrastructure owners and operators are required to identify the risks and hazards that might have an impact on their asset. They must then - so far as it’s reasonably practicable to do so - take steps to minimise or eliminate that risk.


Critical Infrastructure Risk Management Program

The CIRMP Rules are principles-based and allow for broad discretion in how you approach the management of hazards. Read more from the CISC: https://lnkd.in/gezs5c39


The Security of Critical Infrastructure (Critical infrastructure risk management program) Rules (LIN 23/006) 2023 are available at: https://lnkd.in/gzwdSjcR

Security Advisory

 

Be vigilant. There has been an increase in reports of false billing scams. If you have received an email with an invoice purporting to be from us, call your Optic Security Group contact person to confirm if it is legitimate. The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission’s National Anti-Scam Centre has reported a 25% increase in losses incurred by Australians from false billing scams in the July-September 2023 quarter compared to the same period last year. This is despite an overall 16% decrease in losses across scam categories.

 

Payment redirection scams are the most prevalent type of false billing scams. These involve scammers impersonating a business or its employees via email and requesting that money, which usually is owed to the legitimate business, is paid into a fraudulent account. For further information, visit the National Anti-Scam Centre website at https://www.scamwatch.gov.au/.   

 

Optic Security Group will never advise a change of bank details via email. If you have received an email with an invoice purporting to be from us, call your Optic Security Group contact to confirm if it is legitimate.
