NSW release the recommendation report for cyber standards
The NSW Standards Harmonisation Taskforce has released its recommendations report that will help strengthen NSW’s cyber capabilities.
Feb 11, Australia: The NSW Standards Harmonisation Taskforce is a collaboration between the NSW Government, AustCyber and Standards Australia, as well as other industry leaders and business representatives.
Together the task force has compiled a comprehensive recommendations report that includes 7 priority sectors:
cloud
defence
education
energy
financial services
health
telecommunications and IoT (Internet of things).
The report highlights priority areas for standards development and implementation. It also outlines how the standards can build a resilient cyberinfrastructure across these sectors.
Businesses and government agencies are being encouraged to review and implement the recommendations in the report. This will help improve their cybersecurity policies and increase their cyber resilience.
The next steps for the task force will be to develop an accessible list of cybersecurity standards for all 7 priority sectors. As well as a final report, this will include a website showing the business benefits around the adoption of the standards.
The final report will be an essential asset for boards, executives and relevant decision-makers and help embed the work of the task force into the economy.
