Australia will conduct a national “cyber-security review”.
Speaking today at the launch of a new cyber security centre, prime minister Tony Abbott put network security on par with physical security, said it is a guarantor of economic security and added “it is so important we keep one step ahead of this particular game” because the last such review was in 2008 and “in this area that is several lifetimes”.
The review will be conducted by a panel comprising Business Council of Australia CEO Jennifer Westacott, Telstra CISO Mike Burgess, Australian Strategic Policy Institute international cyber policy director Tobias Feakin and Cisco’s US chief security officer John Stewart.
The panel will be asked to consider national online defences, and whether Australian businesses and individuals have the tools and skills to defend themselves.

The panel’s been given six months to come up with recommendations that may eventually become part of a new cyber-defence strategy. ®
