Podcast: All Roads Lead to SOCI

This podcast series unpacks how the SOCI - Security of Critical Infrastructure Act - affects your organisation.

There have been significant changes to the Security of Critical Infrastructure Act 2018 (Cth) (SOCI Act) over the past few years as Australia looks to strengthen its response to the physical, personnel, supply chain and cyber hazards to critical infrastructure assets.

We have partnered with our long-standing client, and data security thought leader, Macquarie Technology Group, to unpack how the SOCI Act has affected responsible entities for critical infrastructure assets (critical infrastructure organisations), its suppliers and broader stakeholders.

It was also a privilege to record this podcast onsite at Macquarie Technology Group's secure facilities, on the land of the Darug nation.
