The CSIR Information and Cyber Security Centre provides technical support and expertise to support the City of Johannesburg in building an integrated cybersecurity capability. The City of Johannesburg Metropolitan Municipality depends on its significant stores of information and communications technology capabilities to provide services to citizens. To enable this important responsibility, the city required assurance for the security of systems, and protection of data in its information assets. The CSIR has seconded a group of experts to the City to provide specialised support.
