The Western Australia (WA) state government has revealed a $25.5 million injection to boost the state’s responsiveness towards cyber threats by establishing a dedicated Cyber Security Operations Centre facility, as well as opening new recruitment options for cyber security specialists.

The sum draws from WA’s $500 million Digital Capability Fund dedicated to improving the state’s digital foothold, including modernising legacy systems and security.
