Cyber security strategy
On 21 April 2016 the Government launched Australia's Cyber Security Strategy, developed over 18 months of consultation with 190 organisations.
It is based on five key themes:
- A national cyber partnership between government, researchers and business including regular meetings to strengthen leadership and tackle emerging issues.
- Stronger cyber defences to better detect, deter and respond to threats and anticipate risks.
- Global responsibility and influence to champion a secure, open and free internet while building capacity to crack down on cyber criminals and shut safe havens for cybercrime.
- Growth and innovation to support the Australian cyber security sector to grow and prosper, and ensuring all Australian businesses can operate securely online.
- A cyber smart nation to grow a highly skilled cyber security workforce and ensure all Australian are aware of the risks and benefits of being online.
