A/66/152 these businesses with targeted information about cybersecurity threats and vulnerability to assist in better protecting their information and communications technologies infrastructure. The operations centre, also established in 2010, provides the Australian Government with all-source cybersituational awareness and an enhanced ability to facilitate operational responses to cybersecurity events of national importance. The Centre identifies and analyses sophisticated cyberattacks and assists in responding to cyberevents across government and critical private sector systems and infrastructure. A key priority of the strategy is to educate and empower all Australians with the information, confidence and practical tools to protect themselves online. The strategy is guided by the principle of shared responsibility where all users, in enjoying the benefits of information and communications technologies, should take reasonable steps to secure their own systems, should exercise care in the communication and storage of sensitive information and have an obligation to respect the information and systems of other users. To enable individuals to play an active role in information security, it is essential individuals maintain an awareness and understanding of the cyberenvironment and its risks. To achieve this, Australia has an ongoing programme of awareness-raising, which includes a website for cybersecurity information for Australian home users and small businesses, including for those with limited cyberknowledge and skills (see www.staysmartonline.gov.au) and a cybersecurity awareness week conducted in partnership with business, consumer groups and community organizations. The awareness week helps Australians to understand cybersecurity risks and educates home and small business users on the simple steps they can take to protect their personal and financial information online. During the 2010 National Cyber Security Awareness Week around 150 government agencies, industry, community and consumer organizations partnered to deliver events and activities in metropolitan, regional and rural Australia. In 2011, the awareness week was held from 30 May to 4 June. In acknowledging that the security of cyberspace is a shared responsibility, the Australian Government has worked proactively with the Internet Industry Association to develop an innovative voluntary Internet service provider cybersecurity code of practice (the “icode”), which commenced in December 2010. The code provides a consistent approach for Australian Internet service providers to help inform, educate and protect their clients in relation to cybersecurity issues. Australia has presented on the successful implementation of the code and shared its lessons learned from developing this code in multilateral forums. Presentations have been made in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) Working Party on Information Security and Privacy in December 2010, the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Telecommunications and Information Working Group and the Asia-Pacific Telecommunity. Australia is eager to share this code with other States, through bilateral capacity-building exercises and multilateral forums, to assist other States in better collaborating with Internet service providers and to make those providers more responsible for educating and protecting endusers. Promotion of international cooperation Australia gives high priority to international cooperation on cybersecurity. Given the transnational nature of the Internet, in which effective cybersecurity requires coordinated global action, Australia has adopted an active, multilayered 4 11-41691
