2026–2028 NSW Government Cyber Security Strategy

Minister's Foreword

Trust is at the heart of every interaction between government and the communities we serve. As our services become increasingly digital, it is essential that people feel confident that their data is secure, their privacy respected, and their experience valued.

The 2026–2028 NSW Government Cyber Security Strategy reflects our commitment to building a secure and inclusive digital future, one that puts people first and ensures that digital transformation is always driven by purpose.

Cyber threats are evolving rapidly, and the responsibility to protect our systems, services and data is shared across government. This strategy provides a clear direction for how we can work together to embed security from the outset, respond swiftly to incidents, and foster a culture of cyber awareness across all agencies.

Cyber Security NSW leads this work in partnership with agencies across the state. But it is through the collective efforts of every department and every team that we will earn and maintain the trust of our communities.

By embracing this strategy, we are not only protecting the services we deliver – we are reinforcing the public’s confidence in government and demonstrating the value of secure, ethical, and inclusive digital services.

Together, we can ensure NSW remains a place where innovation is matched by integrity, and where every person can engage with government in a safe and trusted digital environment.
