A new $25.3 million Cyber Security Operations Centre will safeguard NSW Police Force systems from terrorists, organised criminal networks and hackers.
\u00a0
In a joint project led by the NSW Police Force and Cyber Security NSW, the Australian-first operations centre will be made up of a frontline tactical team of 15 analysts and engineers working seven days a week.
\u00a0
Deputy Premier and Minister for Police Paul Toole said the Cyber Security Operations Centre would strengthen the Force\u2019s cyber security defences by identifying and blocking threats in real time.
\u00a0
\u201cThe NSW Police Force holds a significant amount of sensitive data relating to local, national and international criminal investigations, and we know there are criminals who want to get their hands on this information,\u201d Mr Toole said.
\u00a0
\u201cAnalysts in the Cyber Security Operations Centre Command respond to and prevent threats of disruption to the police network every day.
\u00a0
\u201cThese threats often come from organised crime networks or cyber criminals \u2013 and our investment in this Australian-first operations centre is about ensuring our analysts are equipped to stop them in their tracks.
\u00a0
\u201cBy protecting police systems, we are fundamentally protecting the people of NSW by allowing the Force to function securely and effectively, and ensure criminal investigations proceed unthwarted.\u201d
\u00a0
Minister for Customer Service and Digital Government Victor Dominello said it was vital NSW continued to push ahead with its vision to be a world leader in cyber security to protect and advance its digital economy.
\u00a0
\u201cNow more than ever before, governments, people and businesses are at risk from ongoing cyber security threats and Cyber Security NSW is committed to working with government agencies to improve cyber resilience and ensure they are prepared,\u201d Mr Dominello said.
\u00a0
\u201cWe are committed to developing an Australian-based cyber security workforce that is world-leading when it comes to taking on increasingly sophisticated cyber-attacks.\u201d
\u00a0
Since June 2020 the NSW Government has invested $315 million through the Digital Restart Fund to bolster the Government\u2019s cyber security capability and grow the local cyber industry.
