President Biden’s National Cybersecurity Strategy is designed to take the nation’s cybersecurity efforts and elevate them even higher.

This plan may make it simpler for government organisations to conduct offensive cyber strikes against enemies, yet it further obscures why the US lags behind current cyber hazards.

It’s essential to remember that the US initiated its offensive cyber warfare with Stuxnet in 2010 – and has continually escalated these operations since then. The Biden strategy will take this further, intensifying attacks even more drastically.

But how will this move affect Australians? According to the Australian Cyber Security Centre, it is difficult to measure the extent of the impact on everyday Australians; however, there are some key points to consider.

Firstly, the US National Cybersecurity Strategy encourages public-private partnerships. This means that organisations and businesses may rely more on government efforts to protect their networks and systems from cyber threats.

This could have a positive effect in streamlining security protocols and making it easier for companies to protect themselves, but it could also lead to increased surveillance and data collection.

So, while this could benefit the US in terms of its overall cyber security efforts, it’s important to weigh whether the potential risks outweigh the rewards.

Ultimately, President Biden’s National Cybersecurity Strategy is a positive step that can lead to heightened digital security for all.

“The strategy underscores the need for modernising cyber defences and strengthening information sharing,” said Robert Strayer, Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Cyber and International Communications.

As a result, Australians can look forward to improved cybersecurity measures in Australia and worldwide. This could mean that individuals, businesses, and government organisations are better equipped to protect themselves against cyber threats.

However, the public must remain aware of their rights and responsibilities regarding digital security to ensure their data is safe and secure in this evolving landscape.

“No single entity can solve the cyber security challenge alone,” said Strayer.
