During COVID-19 they are targeting families and businesses, including health and medical research facilities. The Australian Government has released the Cyber Security Strategy 2020 to help meet these evolving threats.

It is the Australian Government’s vision to create a more secure online world for Australians, however all of government, business and the community have a role to play in implementing the Cyber Security Strategy 2020.
