Funded Activity Summary
Autoconfiguration of critical network infrastructure. In 2000, Vitek Boden hacked into Maroochy Shire's sewerage system, causing hundreds of kilolitres of raw sewage to flow into a public area, causing financial and environmental damage, and the potential for the spread of life-threatening disease. The goal of this project is to improve the security of Australia's critical infrastructure, for instance, electricity and water supply. The project’s approach is to simplify the critical bottlenecks in communication between plant equipment and company management, namely, the firewall that protects the critical plant equipment from viruses and hackers. Simplification will improve transparency and hence reduce the possibility that security holes allow an incident similar to that of this incident, or worse.Funded Activity Details
