Tide Foundation Co-Founder, Michael Loewy, said traditional password-protected approaches to infrastructure access-control had proven insecure, while alternatives carried their own vulnerabilities or could be overly complicated. It’s also addressing an urgent challenge: 143 cyber attacks on critical infrastructure were reported by the Australian Cyber Security Centre over the past year and Federal Minister for Cyber Security Clare O'Neil recently doubled the number of critical infrastructure assets requiring enhanced cyber security in light of growing threats. RACE Director, Dr Robert(Xiaobin) Shen, said the industry project, which also involved RMIT cybersecurity students, demonstrated the Hub’s role in empowering researchers and industry partners with the tools and infrastructure necessary to enhance operational efficiency and accelerate innovation. It’s been validated by RMIT mathematicians and tested with multiple infrastructure management companies at RACE (RMIT AWS Cloud Supercomputing) and RMIT Cyber Ready Cloud Innovation Centre. The new #tech allows system access authority to be spread invisibly and securely across a network, so there’s no weak link. A #cybersecurity breakthrough by startup Tide Foundation and RMIT allows a fundamentally new approach to protecting critical infrastructure – including ports, energy grids, health systems and water supplies – from would-be hackers.
