Overview The Cyber Security Act 2024 establishes a framework for improving national cyber security. It introduces mandatory security standards for certain internet-connectable products, reporting obligations for ransomware payments, and a "limited use" framework for information shared with the National Cyber Security Coordinator. It also establishes a Cyber Incident Review Board.

In relation to mandatory ransomware and cyber extortion reporting the University is required to report ransomware payments to the Commonwealth within 72 hours.
