Major ASX-listed companies and government departments have been fine-tuning their cyber security in the months following their participation in international Cyber Storm III exercise, according to Federal Attorney General, Robert McClelland.

The Joint Select Committee on Cyber Safety has advised the Federal Government to amend the Privacy Act 1988 to ensure certain small businesses are subject to the requirements of the Act.

Attorney-General Robert McClelland has launched national cyber security awareness week, urging online vigilance as the internet increasingly becomes part of our daily lives.

The National Broadband Network (NBN) could prove to be a best friend to cyber criminals, according to the head of the Australia's National Computer Emergency Response Team (AusCERT).

The U.S. White House is determined to follow through on its efforts to make cybersecurity a top priority, despite earlier government efforts that have fallen flat, a top official said Wednesday.

Nations increasingly touched by cyberattacks are still in the very early stages of figuring out how to deal with incidents that could escalate into critical national security threats.
