We have a clear roadmap for delivery. Alongside the Strategy, we are releasing an Action Plan that outlines the initiatives that we will deliver in Horizon 1. The Action Plan details immediate actions that we will take as our first steps on the journey towards our 2030 vision. It defines clear accountabilities for each initiative, identifying lead and supporting agencies. To ensure that we remain on track, the Government will continue to evaluate our progress and adjust our plan in response to new threats or emerging technologies. We will continue to engage with industry at every step. As part of Horizon 1, Government will work with industry to co-design a suite of landmark legislative reforms that will help us strengthen our cyber shields. This will include options for new cyber obligations, streamlined reporting processes, improved incident response and better sharing of lessons learned after a cyber incident. This package will be designed with careful consideration to minimise regulatory burden. As we want our laws to reflect expert advice and consider the needs of all Australians, we are kicking off a targeted co-design process before these changes are made. Our vision is bold and ambitious, but we have a plan to get there. Australians deserve gold-standard cyber defences and access to the vast economic opportunities that a strong cyber posture presents. This Strategy marks a significant shift in Australia’s approach to protecting our people and businesses from cyber threats. By building and strengthening our cyber shields, Australians will work together to secure a safe and prosperous digital future. This Strategy charts our course to get there. 2023–2030 Australian Cyber Security Strategy 9
