This is the best summary I could come up with:
Australia is developing a "top secret" intelligence community cloud to help national security agencies better detect threats through shared data, while also being interoperable with US and UK spy networks.
Director-General of the Office of National Intelligence (ONI), Andrew Shearer, has revealed some details of the project which would facilitate the sharing of "vast amounts of data", during an address to the Centre for Strategic and International Studies in the United States.
Mr Shearer said the "experiences" of the US and UK in building out their respective intelligence clouds has also shaped Australia's program, helping confront "problems" and avoid "some of the pitfalls".
"ONI led an open Request for an Expression of Interest (REOI) process in 2021 to determine possible partners for a TS Cloud to ensure better connectivity and collaboration across the National Intelligence Community (NIC)," a spokesperson told ABC News.
The spokesperson declined to name which companies were involved or how the new cloud would manage material classified 'Australian Eyes Only', saying "for reasons of national security we don't provide further detail regarding capabilities or technologies".
During his CSIS address Mr Shearer confirmed a new Australian National Intelligence Community strategy would include a "set of principles" that will make sharing of new technologies across various agencies mandatory.
