Continue to uplift cybersecurity and privacy capabilities, including people, processes and technology, to protect the LHD against cyber attacks and prevent privacy breaches. Example actions to help achieve this outcome include: ► Continuing to deliver upon the actions defined in our Cyber Security Action Plan

Reduced likelihood of cyber and privacy breaches Improved response times to cyber threats, incidents, and privacy breaches Reduced risks to adverse clinical outcomes due to cyber attacks Optimised cyber spend by ensuring roadmap is agreed and coordinated.

Identify local Crown Jewel assets and apply appropriate controls based on critically Increase maturity against the Essential 8 and ensure mandatory 25 controls are applied, to comply with state and national Cyber Security frameworks and policies Uplift the capability and capacity of cybersecurity within the ICT function by leveraging statewide investments in the cyber area Assess eHealth NSW security offerings to replace existing tools and align with state security operations. For example, if a log aggregator service becomes available through statewide bodies, consider leveraging that instead of duplicating investments Prioritise the local cybersecurity initiatives according to a risk based mitigation.
