This has been instrumental in uncovering security gaps and automating remediation actions .”
This proved pivotal during the department ’ s Cyber Security Uplift Program . Across NSW AU $ 315m ( US $ 205m ) was allocated and is part of the broader work of the Digital Restart Fund ( DRF ) to provide trusted and secure services to the people of NSW . With Axonius in tow , the department was able to establish a detailed view of devices , users and cloud instances , and identified far more applications than they thought existed .
“ We utilised this information to consolidate our desktop standard operating environment ( SOE ) by identifying non-SOE devices – applications that needed to be packaged and deployed , and verifying that we had captured new devices logging into the network at regular intervals ,” explains Bianca Wirth .
This allowed the department to streamline its security operations and improve its overall security posture , allowing it to be more proactive in addressing vulnerabilities and ensuring compliance as it grew .
