The Victorian Government has launched a boost to its Cyber Strategy 2021. The four-year plan represents a $50 million investment into the cyber sector. Importantly, the program incorporates and accompanies new TAFE programs and a $64 million Digital Jobs Program.

The Assistant Minister for Defence released the second ACSC Annual Threat Report (Jul 2020-Jun 2021) today (15 Sep 21). The report reveals the statistics that demonstrate the growing level of threat to Australians from cybercrime over the last financial year. It reveals a 13% increase in cybercrime attacks over the previous year, impacting the Australian economy by an estimated $33 billion (AUD).

The process of co-design continues with each of the new sectors to be addressed in the legislation. Monitoring these activities is essential to ensure you do not miss the workshop that covers your industry sector.
