A detailed report outlining Australia’s involvement in the recent international cyber security exercise, Cyber Storm II, has been released by Attorney-General Robert McClelland.

Cyber Storm II was held in March in conjunction with the US Department of Homeland Security National Cyber Security Division, the UK’s Centre for the Protection of National Infrastructure, Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness Canada and New Zealand’s Centre for Critical Infrastructure Protection.

Its key finding was that "Effective response is enhanced by routinely reviewing and testing Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), Incident Response Plans and/or crisis management arrangements."
