The Australian Industry Group Defence Council appreciated the opportunity to contribute to the Department of Home Affairs' consultation on the Horizon 2 Cyber Security Strategy (2026-2028). As the peak national representative body for Australian defence industry, we commend the Government for this strategic initiative.
To fulfil industry commitments and cyber security requirements, this submission conveys the importance of harmonising with international standards, seeks practical cyber security policy implementation, and distinguishes between risk-based and compliance approaches.
