Australian cyber security policy through a European lens

The aim of the paper is to evaluate Australia’s national Cyber Security strategy through a European lens. In 2016, Australia developed a National Cyber Security strategy and as such is considered to have one of the highest levels of cyber security maturity in the Asia Pacific region. An analysis of the national Cyber Security strategy of Australia will be assessed using the ENISA (European Union (EU) Agency for Network and Information Security) evaluation framework for Cyber Security Strategies and in doing so the strengths and weaknesses will be highlighted to inform policy development and debate.
