The Energy Sector Group (ESG) is part of the Federal Government's Trusted Information Sharing Network (TISN) for Critical Infrastructure Resilience (CIR). The TISN was formed in April 2003 in the wake of the September 11 terrorist attacks and the 2002 Bali Bombings as a forum for information sharing between the Federal Government and the owners and operators of critical infrastructure. In 2009 the TISN adopted a broader resilience-based approach to critical infrastructure protection to help address non traditional threats such as organised and cyber-crime, natural disasters and pandemics. The ESG is one of seven sector groups, including Banking and Finance; Communications; Health; Water Services; Food Chain; and Transport. Each sector group is supported by the relevant Federal Government line agency, for the ESG this is the Department of Industry.
