Queensland Government Internet service (QGISP)
The Queensland Government internet service (QGISP) provides fast and highly secure access to the internet.
The Queensland Government Chief Information Security Officer endorses the QGISP as a critical strategy for agencies to help mitigate online cyber threats.
A range of essential internet security protections are included with this service at no additional cost including Denial of Service protection, blacklists, and an Intrusion Detection and Protection service.
Benefits
The QGISP enables improved productivity, security and collaboration across Queensland government by offering highly secure and seamless access to government and cloud-based services.
This service incorporates a wide range of cyber security mitigations that reduce the likelihood of unauthorised access to private, personal and confidential information, which could result in disruption of business operations and potential reputational damage.
Using this service helps enable Queensland government organisations to meet their obligations under the Information Security Policy (IS18:2018) and improve cyber security maturity.
