ASPI has worked closely with the China Institute of International Studies (CIIS) to advance discussion on cyber policy, and several viable policy initiatives are proposed in this report.

Cybersecurity is a first-order national security issue, and ICT networks are critical for Australia’s digital future and economic prosperity.
