NATIONAL EFFORTS TO PROMOTE A GLOBAL CULTURE OF CYBERSECURITY 5.1. Separate and in addition to the issues addressed in the OEWG and UNGGE mandates, Australia recognises the need for countries to take steps domestically to promote a global culture of cybersecurity. In this regard, we recall and commend the consensus resolutions listed below. a) A/RES/64/211 Creation of a global culture of cybersecurity and taking stock of national efforts to protect critical information infrastructures, which contains a voluntary self-assessment tool for national efforts to protect critical information infrastructures b) A/RES/58/199 Creation of a global culture of cybersecurity and the protection of critical information infrastructures, which contains a list of 11 elements for protecting critical information infrastructures c) A/RES/57/239 Creation of a global culture of cybersecurity, which contains a list of nine complementary elements to foster a global cultural of cybersecurity. 5.2. Australia is committed to promoting a global culture of cybersecurity pursuant to UNGA Resolutions A/RES/57/239, A/RES/58/199 and A/RES/64/211. Australia pursues a comprehensive and coordinated cyber agenda that draws on a wide range of multidisciplinary expertise from across the Australian Government. Annex E provides a list and overview of key actors in the Australian cyber-ecosystem. 5.3. Australia considers that women’s equal and active participation in the areas of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) is key to effectively promoting a global culture of cybersecurity. Likewise, Australia is committed to better addressing the gender digital divide and to equipping women to women manage technology risks and abuse. The documents listed below highlight key Australian efforts to address these issues. In sharing these documents we aim to foster mutual learning and best practice in this field. a) The Australian Signals Directorate (ASD), the Australian Government’s leading cyber security agency, has a wide range of initiatives that support gender equality within its workforce (see Annex F – Australian Signals Directorate - Women in Cyber) b) The Australian Department of Industry, Science and Technology recently published a Strategy ‘Advancing Women in STEM’ (available at: www.industry.gov.au/womeninstem) c) The Australian Academy of Science recently published a ‘Women in STEM Decadal Plan’ (available at: www.science.org.au/womeninstemplan) d) The Australia Government funded OCED ‘Bridging the Digital Gender Divide’ report, which contains best practice recommendations for governments (available at: www.oecd.org/internet/bridging-the-digital-gender-divide.pdf) e) Australia’s Office of the eSafety Commissioner’s eSafetyWomen initiative has a range of resources to help women manage technology risks and abuse (see Annex G – eSafetyWomen, or: www.esafety.gov.au/women) 4 esafety.gov.au/parents
