Hi All
Does your organisation also check for technology exposed to foreign control?
Australia has instructed all of its government entities to take stock of their entire technology estates and identify any assets that could be controlled or manipulated by foreign states.
It comes as the country addresses a growing number of hostile state and financially motivated cyberthreats, with the Australian Signals Directorate (ASD) this week also warning that a state-sponsored Chinese hacking group has “repeatedly targeted Australian networks.”
In three new legally-binding instructions published on Monday, the country’s Department of Home Affairs required that all government entities — of which there are more than 1,300, from cabinet departments through to statutory offices — identify Foreign Ownership, Control or Influence (FOCI) risks associated with the technology they’re using.
