Government systems are prime targets for cyber-attacks, and despite some progress, the cyber security maturity of Australian government entities remains relatively low. The 2023-2030 Australian Cyber Security Strategy aims to bring about the transformative change necessary to enhance national resilience against cyber threats and effectively address the impacts of cyber incidents.
The Expert Advisory Board, which provides strategic advice to the Minister for Home Affairs and Cyber Security, and the recently completed consultation with industry underscore the Australian Government’s commitment to fostering a new era of genuine public-private collaboration to strengthen the country’s cyber security and resilience.
The inaugural Future of Government Security event in 2025 will adopt a comprehensive and cooperative approach to building cyber resilience, with participation from over 100 senior cyber leaders representing the APS, state, local, and international governments.
