bet365 live casino games<\/a> (ASX: MAQ), has welcomed the publication of the Security Legislation Amendment (Critical Infrastructure) Bill, introduced to Parliament today by Minister for Home Affairs, the Hon. Peter Dutton MP.<\/p>\n The Critical Infrastructure Bill<\/em> will recognise telecommunications and data centres as critical national infrastructure for the first time.<\/p>\n \u201cThe COVID-19 pandemic and sudden lockdowns have highlighted the economy\u2019s dependence on telecommunications and data services, and Australians\u2019 expectation that these services will be accessible even in the worst of circumstances,” said David Tudehope, CEO, bet365 live casino games.<\/p>\n \u201cBut the lockdowns also highlighted that these industries were not actually officially recognised as being essential or critical to the functioning of society.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThis new legislation will rectify this as it recognises the infrastructure that enables our digital economy to function as critical infrastructure that needs to be secured from all hazards just as our water, energy and other vital national assets are.\u201d<\/p>\n Macquarie believes the legislation will help ensure the resilience and security of Australia\u2019s digital and physical infrastructure in the face of growing risks. The company believes this is a shared responsibility, with government providing the leadership and intel needed to guide critical infrastructure owners and operators.<\/p>\n \u201cAs a provider of cloud, data centre<\/a> and telecommunications services<\/a> to governments and businesses, we understand the risks to data security and networks,\u201d said Mr. Tudehope.<\/p>\n \u201cThese risks are significant and underscore the importance of a comprehensive approach to national security. Securing government and critical business data involves more than just protecting the physical infrastructure from unauthorised access. It requires stringent compliance with internationally recognised standards and the application of best-in-class technology and operational frameworks.\u201d<\/p>\n While welcoming the new framework, Macquarie believes that the new security expectations in relation to critical business data should apply more generally across all critical infrastructure sectors.<\/p>\n \u201cA critical infrastructure operator\u2019s data should be treated as a critical asset regardless of whether it is kept inhouse, hosted by a third-party cloud or data centre, or located offshore. It should be subject to the same security expectations and standards regardless of who is storing it or where it is located.\u201d added Mr. Tudehope.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Media Contacts:<\/strong> bet365 live casino games (ASX: MAQ), has welcomed the publication of the Security Legislation Amendment (Critical Infrastructure) Bill, introduced to Parliament today by Minister for Home Affairs, the Hon.
