The NSW government has launched a new cyber security strategy to protect its essential services and help it stay ahead of cyber threats as government services have become increasingly digital. Created by a collaboration of cyber security experts from within the government, the 2026–2028 NSW Government Cyber Security Strategy aims to reinforce all-of-government coordination to protect against key risks. It has a particular focus on critical infrastructure and third-party supply chains and is expected to improve the public sector’s capacity to identify threats and coordination of response efforts through Cyber Security NSW by incorporating ID support. “This strategy is based on strengthening our approach to cyber resilience and draws on deep interagency collaboration to ensure we work together across government to protect systems and citizens’ information,” said Cyber Security NSW executive director Marie Patane. “In the past 12 months we have focused on collaborating closely with chief information security officers, which has made this strategy possible.
