Prime Minister Tony Abbott is meeting the nation's top business leaders on ways to improve cyber security.
The government is working on a strategy by partnering with the private sector to make online commerce more secure and enhance national security.
Mr Abbott will chair the meeting in Sydney on Wednesday with chief executives of some of the big banks, miners, supermarket giants and telcos.
"We're working to protect Australians online, to provide confidence as well as peace of mind for households and business," Mr Abbott said in a statement.
The strategy, the first such plan since 2009, will be released in the following months.
