New Threat Perspective Outlines Risks to Australian Electric Organisations
Summary: Dragos published a threat perspective report on threats to Australian electric organisations, citing evolving ICS/OT targeting adversaries, increased ransomware activity, supply chain threats, and sub-optimal security controls as drivers of elevated cyber risk. The report states that at least 6 of the 19 Dragos-designated threat groups have either directly targeted or have the assessed capability to target electric organisations in Australia, despite the country's geographical isolation.
Why it matters: With 6 of 19 tracked threat groups assessed as capable of or already targeting Australian electric organisations, the report ties that activity to an increased risk of an intrusion-facilitated power disruption at control centres, dispatch centres, or generation, transmission, and distribution environments.
