In the recent years, there have been notable targeted attacks on industrial control systems and systems of critical infrastructure by attacks/malwares with code names such as Stuxnet, Aurora, Flame, and Havex. These were discovered by various security vendors' threat research and intelligence centres. The drive of Internet of Things (IoT) has driven several industries such as smart manufacturing to adopt and embrace the advantages of connecting to the Internet, thereby unknowingly exposing themselves and becoming more vulnerable to the threats.

Australia has come under several ICS attacks in recent times. Several security events recorded in recent years involving systems of national interest, including both critical infrastructure and government systems, indicate that Australia is increasingly the target of cyber attacks. As a result, Australian businesses are making strong investments towards ICS security. The uptake of ICS security has been driven by factors such as increased attacks on critical infrastructure globally, investments in cyber security insurance, and investments in IoT applications. As we move forward, industry-specific regulations and mandates around ICS security will further drive the ptake of ICS security solutions in Australia. However, factors such as air gap strategy, security skills shortage and technology sprawl, lack of mandates, and preference for availability over integrity will be the major barriers to the growth of this market.
