2017 International Cyber Engagement Strategy

Australia's former Foreign Minister, The Hon Julie Bishop MP, launched Australia's first International Cyber Engagement Strategy on 4 October 2017 in Sydney. It was superseded by the International Cyber and Critical Technology Engagement Strategy in April 2021.

The 2017 International Cyber Engagement Strategy set out Australia's ambitious cyber affairs agenda out to 2020. The Strategy was global in perspective and regional in focus. It was founded on private sector partnerships and backed up by a practical plan of action. The 2019 Progress Report sets out Australia’s achievements under each of the 61 actions highlighted in the inaugural International Cyber Engagement Strategy.
