Critical Infrastructure Uplift Program (CI-UP)
Helping Australia’s critical infrastructure improve its resilience against cyber attacks through CI-UP.
About the program
The Critical Infrastructure Uplift Program (CI-UP) enhances the cyber resilience of Australia’s critical infrastructure by helping organisations strengthen the security of their critical assets and operational technology environments.
CI-UP is a voluntary, national program for select ASD Network Partners that is designed to:
- identify and prioritise cyber security uplift opportunities
- improve visibility of malicious activity and cyber vulnerabilities
- strengthen incident response capabilities
- build a strong cyber security culture.
CI-UP is a REDSPICE initiative designed to strengthen the cyber security and resilience of Australia’s most essential critical infrastructure entities. Visit the ASD website to learn more about REDSPICE.
