 help foster an environment which allows our law enforcement agencies to work together to ensure fewer places exist where cyber criminals can act without fear of investigation and prosecution;  promote the resilience of cyberspace by shaping the technical standards governing emerging technologies internationally (including encryption), making cyberspace more ‘secure by design’ and promoting best practice;  work to build common approaches amongst like-minded countries for capabilities such as strong encryption, which have cross-border implications;  build the capacity of others to tackle threats to the SL, and our interests overseas;  continue to help our partners develop their own cyber security – since we share a single cyberspace, we collectively become stronger when each country improves its own defenses; There are a range of relationships and tools we will continue to invest in to deliver and underpin all our international cyber objectives; we cannot achieve our objectives in isolation. These include:  working in concert with traditional allies and new partners to establish and maintain strong active political and operational relationships; creating the political conditions to build strong global alliances;  Building stronger relationships with non-government actors – industry, civil society, academia and the technical community. These actors are crucial in informing and challenging international policy formulation, and strengthening political messages on a wide range of cyber issues. Our world-class academic links provide a neutral, collaborative platform with international partners. The Government will measure its success in advancing our international interests in cyber by assessing progress towards the following outcomes:  enhanced international collaboration reduces cyber threat to the SL and our interest overseas;  a common understanding of responsible state behavior in cyberspace;  international partners have increased their cyber security capability; and
