NSW Police is building an around-the-clock cyber security operations centre (SOC) to protect its critical IT systems and data holdings from attack as part of a new multi-year program of work.

The SOC, which is expected to come online from May, will be central to the force evolving its active defence capabilities â a key objective of the cyber security transformation program.

Chief information and technology officer Gordon Dunsford told iTnews the program kicked off at scale in December thanks to additional funding provided to the force in the digital restart fund.

The fund â which was first established up in 2019 â was topped up with $1.6 billion over three years in last yearâs state budget to accelerate the governmentâs digital transformation.

The cyber security program will also involve the creation of a security by design (SBD) architecture practice to ensure that all IT projects benefit from modern security assurance practices at all stages.
