Firm Leads Legal Framework for National Cybersecurity Initiative

KnowlesMain Chambers has been instrumental in shaping the legal foundation for a nationwide cybersecurity resilience program aimed at protecting critical infrastructure and sensitive data.

The initiative, launched in collaboration with government agencies and private sector stakeholders, focuses on strengthening digital defenses across industries such as banking, healthcare, energy, and transportation. The firm’s Technology & Cyber Law team provided strategic advice on data protection regulations, cross-border data transfers, and incident response protocols.

A key component of the engagement involved drafting legislative recommendations to update outdated cybersecurity statutes, aligning them with emerging threats like AI-driven cyber attacks and advanced ransomware campaigns. The firm also designed model compliance frameworks to help businesses meet new security standards without disrupting operations.

Industry experts have praised the firm’s approach, noting its balance of legal compliance and operational practicality. The initiative is expected to significantly reduce vulnerability levels across Australia’s digital infrastructure and serve as a model for other jurisdictions in the Asia-Pacific region.

This achievement further cements KnowlesMain Chambers’ reputation as a leader in technology-focused legal solutions and as a trusted partner for both government and industry in addressing evolving cyber risks.
