Shield 6 Resilient region and global leadership Australia’s region is more cyber resilient, and is prospering from the digital economy. We continue to uphold international laws and norms and shape global rules and standards in line with our shared interests. What success looks like By 2030, Australia envisages a region better able to manage, mitigate and recover from the impacts of cyber incidents. Australia will continue to cooperate and build coalitions with international partners, industry and civil society to shape and advocate for rules, norms and standards that are consistent with our shared interests and values. Australia will be the partner of choice for cyber security, with the trust and expertise required to manage increasing threats to the region; our regional efforts will deliver sustainable and shared cyber resilience. With our assistance, partners will have developed and retained the skills and capacity to be more cyber resilient. Though threats proliferate, few attacks will inflict significant damage, because protections are strong and recovery is swift. Increased resilience and strategic stability will ensure an open, stable and prosperous region, where citizens and businesses benefit from access to the global digital economy. International standards for critical technologies will reflect Australia’s interests and expertise. Global technology markets will be transparent and competitive, with a diversity of suppliers of products and services that are secure and safe by design. Australian citizens and businesses will reap the economic and security benefits of high-quality standards and digital trade rules. A stable cyberspace will be supported by the agreed framework for responsible state behaviour. There will be clear consequences when states contravene their obligations and commitments. The internet will be open, free, secure and interoperable – with responsible and accountable multi-stakeholder management and governance. 52 2023–2030 Australian Cyber Security Strategy
