The Australian Government’s unveiling of Australia’s Cyber Security Strategy 2023-2030 placed a spotlight on security and the crucial roll we must now all play in keeping ourselves, our business and our nation cyber safe. The key themes include:
Increasing Visibility of the Threat:
Addressing the visibility gap, the strategy enhances cyber threat intelligence through initiatives like a no-fault ransomware reporting obligation and the Cyber Incident Review Board, fostering faster threat information sharing.
Reducing the Volume of Cyber Incidents with Australia’s Cyber Security Strategy:
Support for telcos and ISPs to block threats at scale, a Threat Sharing Acceleration Fund, and mandatory standards for IoT devices underscore the strategy’s commitment to reducing cyber incidents.
Improving Our Collective Response to Cyber Crises:
Professionalising the high-tech industry through a skills framework and an industry code of practice.
A Rising Tide of Resilience:
Strengthening the Security of Critical Infrastructure Act and clarifying corporate governance standards aiming to foster a high-tech-resilient environment.
Challenges and Opportunities:
The strategy tackles challenges and embraces opportunities responsibly, focusing on AI, quantum computing, and achieving security-by-design in digital technologies.
Industry Consultation and Collaboration:
Shaped through extensive industry consultation, the strategy underscores public-private collaboration. The Executive Cyber Council fosters cross-sectoral trust for a resilient digital landscape.
Success in this seven-year journey requires a collective effort. Let’s navigate the horizon together, ensuring a secure digital future for Australia.
