The AUKUS trilateral security pact, established between Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States, represents a pivotal alliance to promote a free, open, and secure Indo-Pacific region. As these three nations work together to ensure stability and deter potential threats, the integrity of the supply chain supporting AUKUS becomes a critical concern. The supply chain, comprising a vast network of vendors, suppliers, and service providers, plays a foundational role in the success of AUKUS. However, it also introduces a significant risk: the potential for cyber threats that could be exploited by adversarial nation-states or other malicious actors opposed to the mission of AUKUS.
Recognizing this risk, Censys, sees an urgent need to address the potential cybersecurity risks within the supply chain. This white paper seeks to underscore the importance of understanding and securing the supply chain’s attack surface, with a particular focus on the risks posed by internet-exposed systems and devices. By doing so, the member states can better safeguard the AUKUS mission and contribute to a stable and secure Indo-Pacific region.
