DEFENCE department computers sustained about 2400 cyber attacks last year, Defence Minister John Faulkner revealed today.

Launching a new cyber warfare centre in Canberra, Senator Faulkner outlined the scale of electronic attacks against government operations.

He said Defence investigated about 200 electronic security incidents a month last year involving its own computers and networks.

Defence also responded to about 220 cyber attacks against other areas of the Australian government last year.

Warning there was a dark side to technology, Senator Faulkner said the new Cyber Security Operations Centre was a significant part of the government's response to cyber threats.

The internet is not only a tool in this battle - cyberspace is a battlefield itself, he said.
