I see the government is conducting free cyber security workshops for those invlolved in critical infrastructure next month....
"The computer systems powering Australia's essential services, such as electricity, gas, water, sewerage, transport and communications utilities, are outdated and not secured against cyber terrorist attacks, the Federal Government has warned.
Security analysts in the United States said simplistic attacks originating from the internet could shut down the electric grid, interrupt the transport network and compromise drinking water systems.
The Department of Communications, Information Technology and the Arts (DCITA) said the failure of critical infrastructure as a result of a cyber attack could have "severe consequences for the wider Australian community".
The threat is so serious that the Government is holding free workshops for critical infrastructure practitioners and executives next month designed to teach them about emerging threats and how to treat them."
