Home Affairs Minister Clare O’Neil has warned that Australians will still see cyber-attacks even if the country becomes the “best in the world” with its cyber security.
“Part of us being a nationally secure country is being able to get back up off the mat very quickly when we are hit with a cyber-attack,” she told Sky News Australia.
“So what the Australian government is doing is starting something that business have called for and asked for which is for us to collaborate with industry to run large-scale national cyber exercises.” Ms O’Neil said they will design a set of cyber-attack scenarios and coordinate how the government and sector would work together.
“It’s a really important thing for us to be doing and we are starting that fairly soon with banking and finance.”
