You know, we are a prosperous country. We have things that other countries want. We have opportunities for cybercriminals, so I think that is a lot of the motivation. At the same point in time, we want to make ourselves a hard target and bake in the defences we have in order to make sure that cybercriminals don't make money off us and state-sponsored threat actors don't get the information they want.
Continuing to up our defences is probably the best way to do that.
