World-class threat
sharing and blocking
Australia has access to real-time threat data,
and we can block threats at scale.
What success looks like
Australians should feel confident that the Government and industry are working together to
identify and block cyber threats before they cause significant harm. Cyber threat intelligence
sharing plays a crucial role in enhancing threat visibility across the economy, with collaboration
between Government and industry helping to build a holistic threat picture. The Government
draws on its access to expertise and information from classified sources to help businesses
anticipate and respond to sophisticated cyber threats. Meanwhile, industry provides real-time
data on emerging threats and vulnerabilities, helping the Government to enhance preparedness
and response options.
New technologies and practices will inevitably shape the threat landscape and improve our
capacity to share threat information at scale. By 2030, we will have a thriving whole-of-economy
threat sharing and blocking network that will build on ASD’s existing intelligence threat sharing
platforms to enhance our ability to share cyber threat intelligence at machine speed across the
nation. This network will include enhanced industry-to-industry information sharing, providing a
multi-directional ‘hub and spoke’ model feeding data back into government threat intelligence
systems and enabling information to be effectively distributed to industry. Real-time threat
sharing will facilitate automated threat-blocking capabilities, enabling industry and the
Government to block cyber threats before they reach end users.
How we’ll get there
To achieve our 2030 vision, the Australian Government will:
• create a whole-of-economy threat intelligence network; and
• scale threat-blocking capabilities to stop cyber attacks.
