Here, we unpack the recently released
2023–2030 Australian Cyber Security Strategy, its implications for
lawyers and legal service providers, and the best practice
principles that will be pertinent moving forward.
In this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Jerome Doraisamy
welcomes back Cyber GC founder principal Annie Haggar (a former
winner of the General Counsel of the Year category at the
Australian Law Awards) to discuss how and why the federal
government’s new cyber security strategy has emerged, how Australia
is faring relative to overseas counterparts on cyber matters at
present, and the headline takeaways for lawyers and legal services
providers from the new strategy.
Ms Haggar also dives into how the market has responded to the new
strategy, the extent to which various legal practice areas have
received suitable guidance, the questions lawyers, firms, and teams
must be asking of themselves and their businesses, whether
proactive refusal of work from those whose processes aren’t up to
scratch should be implemented, why lawyers must be at the heart of
cyber responses moving forward, and why lawyers need to view cyber
as part and parcel of their duties to the courts, clients, and the
broader community.
