The Australian government has launched what it calls a ""game changing"" blueprint to protect the country from a rising number of cyberattacks. The strategy was released on Wednesday in Sydney by Clare O'Neil, minister for home affairs and also for cybersecurity. It includes awareness and protection initiatives for businesses and the broader community, safe technology and coordination measures, critical infrastructure resilience, and national and global networking. ""We have a cyber threat in front of us, but we also have a cyber opportunity,"" O'Neil said, while adding that ""things are going to get worse and we are facing increased threats."" The first two years of the new schedule through 2025 will pay particular attention to better coordinating the private and public sectors on cybercrime protection and developing a more cooperative approach between major sectors of the national economy.
