Australian Signals Directorate releases the annual Cyber Threat Report for 2023–24

The Australian Signals Directorate (ASD) has released its fifth ASD Cyber Threat Report (ACTR).

Cyber threats are rapidly evolving. The ACTR details the latest cyber threats affecting Australian businesses and organisations, critical infrastructure, and individuals. The findings highlight the continued exploitation of Australian networks.

State-sponsored cyber actors and cybercriminals continually target Australian organisations and individuals using evolving tactics. The speed with which cyber threats spread and evolve means that no single person or organisation can effectively defend against all threats in isolation. Cooperation on a national scale is one of Australia’s greatest advantages against malicious cyber activity.

Download the latest ASD Cyber Threat Report for a full understanding of the current cyber threat environment. The report also highlights ASD’s cyber security guidance, services and uplift programs.

You can also download the ASD Cyber Threat Report factsheets for a summary of the key threats facing you and your business.

Adversaries evolve and so does cyber security. Good cyber security is not set and forget. Every Australian should continually evolve their cyber security practices and together, we can make Australia the most secure place to connect online.
