Australian Attorney General Robert McClelland yesterday launched an in-depth Cyber Security Strategy for the nation, supported by a new Computer Emergency Response Team to rival the existing AusCERT.
The director of Australia's existing Computer Emergency Response Team (AusCERT) this week said a rival government group that received funding in the budget was unlikely to impact its operations.
A previously unreleased report from Australia's attorney-general's department has urged the government to take action to curb the quick and ferocious nature of modern cyber-attacks.
The Federal Government has abandoned plans to grant law enforcement agencies unfettered freedom to intercept communications from multiple devices that are not listed in a warrant, yielding to pressure exerted by the privacy lobby.
Privacy advocates fear that the long-awaited overhaul to Australia's 20 year old Privacy Act will die before it ever sees the light of day.
