Australia will establish a new cyber intelligence centre to be led by the Office of National Intelligence to bolster the country’s security, Prime Minister Scott Morrison announced at a dinner to mark the 70th anniversary of the ANZUS alliance with the United States.
Noting that shared intelligence was a major pillar of the ANZUS alliance, Morrison said the multi-agency cyber intelligence centre will ensure Australia works well, and keeps pace, with its allies and emerging technologies at a time when “changing geopolitical realities” meant cyber intelligence was “more important than ever.”
