Prime Minister Julia Gillard will reportedly cite China and cyber attacks as key security concerns.
ONLINE identity fraud, commercial espionage and disruption of public services will be the focus of the new national security plan, following a huge spike in cyber hacking.
The plan identifies cyber security, partnerships between governments and business, and the rise of Asia as the key areas for Australia to focus on over the next five years.
The cyber security strategy will be headlined with a new national headquarters, combining capabilities across the Attorney-General's Department, Defence, ASIO, the Australian Federal Police and the Australian Crime Commission.
A report, Strong and Secure: A Strategy for Australia's National Security, says the move comes after a 42 per cent increase in cyber attacks over the past two years.
Almost 440 cyber security incidents were responded to last year.
"If left unchecked, cyber-related threats have the potential to undermine confidence in our social and economic stability and our prosperity," the report said.
Prime Minister Julia Gillard yesterday said the focus on cyber was particularly important given the growth of the internet and technology, particularly with the expansion fo the National Broadband Network.
"Malicious cyber activity will likely be with us for many decades to come, so we must be prepared for a long, persistent fight," Ms Gillard said.
The government formulated the strategy following the end of the post-9/11 era to focus on the new challenges after a decade of war in Afghanistan in the so-called war on terror.
The plan said the coming years will be era of state-based security threats rather than non-state groups.
But the opposition singled out Labor's border protection failures as proof it had no idea how to keep the nation secure on top of $5.5 billion worth of cuts to the Defence budget.
Senator George Brandis said that "under Gillard's leadership, we have whittled away our ability to defend ourselves to the point where even the United States is openly questioning our commitment and complaining we are not responsibly playing our part."
The strategy will be updated every five years.
