Australia will build “six cyber shields around our nation” declared home affairs minister Clare O’Neill yesterday, as part of a national cyber security strategy.
Detailed in a speech before a summit on cyber security, the strategy’s six “shields” comprise:
- Education so that businesses and citizens are informed about the threats they face online, how to defend their interests, and the support available after incidents;
- Safe technology, as defined by “clear global standards for digital safety in products that will help us drive the development of security into those products from their very inception.
