About LGIT 2023

The Local Government IT conference (LGIT) is an annual conference for council technology teams. LGIT 2023 was hosted by the City of Coffs Harbour at Opal Cove Resort and brought together delegates from councils in NSW, Victoria, Tasmania, Western Australia and Queensland, according to News Of The Area.

Topics included cyber security and data protection, digital government, and emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence.

Events like LGIT give council IT teams a place to compare approaches with peers who run similar environments, from shared services to cyber security programs and procurement.

Local Government and Smart Cities

Smart city projects connect sensors, building systems and public services to council networks. That brings new benefits for residents and new monitoring needs for IT teams, because operational technology and corporate systems increasingly share infrastructure.

• Securing the Future of Smart Cities looks at monitoring for digital city infrastructure.
• SIEM and SOC services for Australian local government explains how ThreatDefence supports councils.
• The Campbelltown City Council case study shows the service in practice.
