Cyber Security

Ai Group is conducting a survey on cyber security. It is an issue for everyone so we would like to hear from all businesses on this topic, we estimate it will take 10 minutes to complete.

We will use the results to inform a report on cyber capability and as an evidence base to advocate for business. The Australian Federal Government is developing a Cyber Security Strategy for 2023-2030 and Ai Group is deeply engaged with the Government process. We are doing this research to help sharpen our advocacy on behalf of industry.

We recognise that many of the questions in this survey are sensitive, and we’ve tried to make them as easy to answer as possible. All responses are confidential, and we will only report deidentified results in industry aggregates. All questions are optional (except the business demographics).

If you have any questions please email economics@aigroup.com.au.
