Ai Group welcomed the opportunity to make a submission on the Discussion Paper on strengthening Australia’s cyber security regulations and incentives by the Department of Home Affairs (Home Affairs).

Ai Group has been supportive of the Government’s release of its revised 2020 Cyber Security Strategy last year. In our 2019 submission to Home Affairs’ 2020 Cyber Security Strategy Discussion Paper, we noted that cyber security threats continue to grow and evolve as a risk management issue for many organisations and their boardrooms.

For the purposes of this submission, we respond to the specific questions that have been raised in the Discussion Paper, including recommendations for Government which build on the work of the 2020 Cyber Security Strategy.
