Australia released an updated cybersecurity strategy that will rely more heavily on public-private partnerships to support the country’s cyber defense efforts.
The strategy, first released as a discussion draft in February, applies to the years 2023-30 and is “game-changing for Australia’s cybersecurity,” said the country’s Department of Home Affairs in a Nov. 22 announcement.
The strategy aims to shift cybersecurity from a technical topic to a national endeavor that will benefit citizens and businesses. It will include stronger public-private partnerships, the Australian government said.
