stratsec understands the importance of information and IT security within the critical infrastructure environment in Australia and the region, while remaining cognisant of the different risk environments created by closed networks and proprietary systems.
stratsec assists critical infrastructure organisations, both through assessing the design of systems, completing 'black box' and 'white box' security testing of existing systems, and through the development of governance and management processes to support the management of IT security within the organisation.
stratsec, through our merger with SIFT was a participant in the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) Systems Security Workshops organised by the Australian Government's Trusted Information Security Network (TISN), in early 2005, and was a panelist at the National Critical Information Infrastructure Security (NCIIS) Conference 2003.
In addition to our engagements with clients in the industry, we have released a wide range of security intelligence reports on issues related to critical infrastructure and the requirements for information security in this environment; most of which are available for download from the Intelligence area of our website.
stratsec is also a member of the Computer Network Vulnerability Assessment (CNVA) Panel, a Federal Government initiative administered by the Attorney-General's Department. The aim of this program is:
"...to better protect Australia's critical infrastructure by working with the owners and operators of critical infrastructure to identify major vulnerabilities within computer systems and interdependencies between connected computer systems, and testing the ability of these systems to resist exploitation."
Further information about the CNVA program is available at the Trusted Information Security Network home page, http://www.tisn.gov.au. If you have a project you believe would be suitable for the CNVA program - which includes the opportunity to obtain partial project funding from the Federal Government - please contact us.
