8130 - CYBER ATTACKS ON GOVERNMENT INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY SERVICES

Hornery, Sonia to the Minister for Counter Terrorism, Minister for Corrections, and Minister for Veterans Affairs

What steps is the Government taking to secure Government information technology services from cyber attack?
Answer -

I am advised:

In March 2017, the Government announced the appointment of its first Government Chief Information Security Officer (GCISO) to ensure a collaborative approach to cyber security and develop a set of standards for the New South Wales public sector. The GCISO's position ensures the prevention, detection and response to cyber incidents are sufficiently developed and streamlined across New South Wales government. The GCISO role is within the Department of Finance, Services and Innovation.
