Event overview
Cyber threats are evolving rapidly, and the NSW Government must continually adapt to safeguard public services and secure its digital future. The NSW Cyber Security Strategy emphasises trust through Zero Trust Architecture, data sovereignty, and cloud security to protect critical infrastructure from emerging risks.
The Government Cyber Security Showcase NSW is a vital platform for experts and leaders to connect, collaborate, and share strategies for bolstering cyber resilience. This year’s event will highlight real-world implementations of advanced security measures, focusing on regulatory compliance, incident response, and data privacy. Attendees will explore solutions to address challenges such as talent shortages, emerging technologies like AI and quantum computing, and evolving threats.
Designed to engage senior public sector leaders and industry innovators, the showcase will deliver actionable insights and access to cutting-edge technologies. It will equip participants with the tools to strengthen their organisation’s cyber posture and chart a clear roadmap for NSW’s digital security.
As part of Government Innovation Week, this event underscores the importance of collective efforts to secure the state’s digital future and establish NSW as a leader in cybersecurity. Don’t miss this opportunity to advance your organisation's resilience and protect the services citizens rely on.
