Australia will build six cyber shields to ensure national security
By 2030, the state plans to become a world leader in cybersecurity.
Australian Home Affairs Minister Claire O’Neill stated on the creation of “six cyber shields around the nation” as part of the national cybersecurity strategy.
The strategy includes six key areas, namely:
education for citizens and businesses regarding existing online threats; development of safe technologies; exchange of information regarding cyber threats between government and business; protection of critical infrastructure; creation of own capabilities in the field of information security, international cooperation.
Educational issues will be aimed at informing businesses and citizens regarding potential threats on the Internet and available means of protection. “Secure technologies” will meet “clear global standards for digital security”: O’Neill emphasized that new products will be secure “from the very beginning of their creation.”
Sharing information regarding cyber threats will allow you to quickly respond to new threats and block them before they cause real harm. Protection of critical infrastructure will be carried out mainly through improving government digital protections.
Its own cybersecurity capabilities include creating a “thriving cyber ecosystem” and attracting young talent to the field. And international cooperation consists of strengthening partnerships with neighboring states and mutual exchange of experience to bilaterally increase the level of cybersecurity.
The “six cyber shields” strategy is planned to be implemented by 2030, when O’Neill expects Australia to become a global leader in all areas of cyber security.
Joe Longo, Chairman of the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) is the Australian financial services and securities regulator. The organization is responsible for the supervision and regulation of financial markets, financial organizations and professionals involved in financial activities in Australia.

“Don’t make the mistake of thinking it’s all done,” Longo cautioned, emphasizing the need for a proactive approach to managing supplier risk and developing comprehensive cybersecurity plans.
The implementation of the above strategy is an important step for Australia, but the success of the initiative depends on the active participation of both government and business. The implementation of six areas will create truly reliable protection once morest cyber threats, but will still require constant vigilance and preparedness for potential incidents.
