In 2024, only 15% of Australian government agencies achieved Maturity Level 2 on the Essential Eight cyber security framework, down from 25% in 2023.
The Australian Signals Directorate's report starkly indicates that as of 2024, compliance with Level 2 remains dangerously low among government agencies, raising concerns over their cyber resilience.
Despite mandated security measures through the Protective Security Policy Framework, many agencies failed to implement the necessary Essential Eight strategies by the 2022 deadline, reflecting systemic issues in Australia’s cyber preparedness.
The 2024 results underscore a troubling trend of regression in cyber security maturity within Australian government agencies, highlighting urgent needs for strategic intervention.
