More than AU$12 million has been allocated to fight high tech crimes and expand the Australian Government Computer Emergency Readiness Team. In addition, a "cyber-exercise program" is in the works to help the country cope with "cyber-terrorism attacks".
In the first instalment of this two part series, Federal IT Minister Senator Richard Alston talks exclusively to ZDNet Australia about broadband pricing, Telstra's service levels and Australia’s cyber-terrorism initiatives.
Organisations are abusing the word "cyberterrorism" by using it to fuel their budgets, a security guru has claimed.
The biggest loser in this week's budget was broadband -- not one cent was allocated to improve infrastructure works. However, security was the winner with funding confirmed to fight intellectual property crime and cyber-terrorist attacks.
