ACCAN recently responded to the Department of Home Affairs’ 2023-2030 Australian Cyber Security Strategy: Legislative Reforms Consultation Paper (the Consultation Paper).

- Mandating a security standard for consumer grade Internet of Things technology.
- Creating a no-fault, no-liability ransomware reporting obligation.
- Creating a “limited use” obligation to clarify how the Australian Signals Directorate and the Cyber Coordinator use information voluntarily disclosed during a cyber incident.
- Establishing a Cyber Incident Review Board.
- The proposed changes to the Security of Critical Infrastructure Act 2018.
