The Joint Committee of Public Accounts and Audit has commenced a new inquiry into cyber resilience, based on Auditor-General’s Report No. 53 (2017-18), Cyber Resilience.
Committee Chair Senator Dean Smith said the cyber resilience of Commonwealth agencies continues to be a key focus of the Joint Committee for Public Accounts and Audit.
“Effective implementation of a comprehensive cyber security framework across Commonwealth agencies is critical to protect Australians’ privacy and Australia’s social, economic and national security interests from emerging cyber threats,” Senator Smith said.
The Committee invites submissions to the inquiry by 4 March 2019, addressing the terms of reference. A public hearing will be held in mid March.
