Supporting Australia’s Security of Critical Infrastructure (SOCI) Framework

The stability and economic resilience of Australia rely fundamentally on the uninterrupted operation of its critical infrastructure systems. As essential services undergo rapid digital transformation, integrating legacy Operational Technology (OT) with modern IT networks, they face an exponentially larger and more complex cyber-physical attack surface.

To address this growing risk, the Australian government introduced the Security of Critical Infrastructure Act 2018 (the SOCI Act), which has since been strengthened by the Enhanced Response and Prevention (ERP) Act 2024. This regulatory framework mandates proactive security measures, from comprehensive asset identification and continuous monitoring to rigorous auditing and rapid incident response.

This white paper demonstrates how the Claroty Platform provides a clear path for critical infrastructure organisations to effectively and efficiently implement the security controls required for full compliance in the 2026 environment.
