Cyber Security Refresh

⁠⁠⁠Department of Communities and Justice (DCJ) currently operates a comprehensive security ecosystem with large investments across:

• Web gateway security

• Email Gateway security

• Cloud service security

• Endpoint detection and response

• Endpoint malware protection and IPS/IDS

• Managed Security Services

These investments have proven to be successful to date in the mitigation of risk.

However, DCJ is now seeking to enhance its current ICT security capability and standardise its relevant security solutions/services across the whole of the recently formed DCJ entity.

For this tender, DCJ is looking for a strategic partner to support its delivery of security-based Protect, Detect and Respond capabilities in order to uplift DCJ’s existing security ecosystem plus drive improvements and cost competitiveness.
