Test cyber report | Queensland Audit Office

Report 12: 2023-24

This report discusses how prepared public sector entities are to respond to and recover from cyber security incidents. We examined 2 lead entities and their role in guiding cyber security across the Queensland Government, and 3 other entities with differing levels of resourcing and capability for managing cyber risks.

Overview

The nature, frequency, and severity of cyber attacks continues to grow and evolve. Public sector and local government entities, regardless of size or location, are a target for cyber attackers because of what they do and the information they hold. Cyber incidents may compromise entities’ information systems and business operations, significantly disrupting the delivery of critical public services. This can have long-lasting economic and social impacts. All entities need to proactively manage their cyber security risks, identify vulnerabilities, and ensure they are able to respond to an incident.
