Event overview
The Government of South Australia oversees a diverse array of information technology infrastructure, services, and systems to serve its citizens. Ensuring the reliability and resilience of these services is crucial for maintaining public trust and confidence. To achieve this, safeguarding infrastructure, digital assets, and citizen information against cyber threats is imperative for SA Government agencies.
As citizens increasingly expect innovative and high-performing experiences from both government and industry, rapid modernisation and reform are being driven across public and private sectors. This digital evolution involves extensive data collection and aggregation, encompassing personal information and intellectual property, which heightens the risk of data loss, fraud, and identity theft.
To protect citizens, employees, and the resilience of government services, it is essential for the SA public sector’s cybersecurity capabilities to continually evolve and mature. Enhancing core cyber capabilities across all government sectors is critical, along with strengthening whole-of-government operational security services to improve the detection and response to increasingly sophisticated cyber threats.
In light of these challenges, The Government Cyber Security Showcase South Australia, supported by our official partner, the Government of South Australia, is dedicated to addressing the importance of safeguarding public sector information and systems in an ever-more digital world. Join us to explore the integration of advanced cybersecurity measures, including threat intelligence, risk management, incident response, and recovery.
