The SOCI Act mandates critical infrastructure operators to invest in cybersecurity. The Act incentivizes organizations to enhance their cyber defenses by imposing specific obligations and penalties for non-compliance. Its alignment with the NIST CSF’s focus on proactive risk management can drive continuous improvement in cybersecurity practices for Australian enterprises. The SOCI Act also emphasizes the importance of collaboration between government and industry in protecting critical infrastructure. The Act fosters a culture of shared responsibility by requiring information sharing and cooperation with government authorities. This aligns with the NIST CSF's partnership and information-sharing principles, which are essential for effective cybersecurity. The NIST Cybersecurity Framework and Australia’s Security of Critical Infrastructure Act offer complementary approaches to safeguarding critical infrastructure. By working in tandem, these frameworks can help organizations build a robust cybersecurity posture, reduce the risk of cyberattacks, and protect the nation’s critical assets. DVMS Institute
