The head of Australia’s security and intelligence agency has conveyed a clear message—and threat—that any criminals or state actors seeking to conduct cyber attacks on Australia should be wary of the nation’s counter-offensive capabilities.
Rachel Noble, director-general of the Australian Signals Directorate (ASD)—a government agency responsible for intelligence, cyber security, and offensive operations—said that Australia’s ability to detect and retaliate against cyber attacks now posed a significant threat to malicious actors.
