Case Study: NSW Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure achieves complete asset visibility and stronger cybersecurity posture with Axonius

How Axonius Secured New South Wales Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure’s Plans to Integrate New Technology

The NSW Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure (NSW DPHI) faced growing asset visibility and security policy enforcement challenges as it integrated new technologies to improve services. To close these gaps, the department partnered with Axonius, a cybersecurity asset intelligence platform, to aggregate and normalise data from multiple sources and create a single, reliable asset inventory.

Axonius was deployed across NSW DPHI’s environment to deliver a complete, always up-to-date view of devices, users and cloud instances, which uncovered far more applications than previously known. With Axonius’ real-time insights and automated policy enforcement, the department consolidated its desktop standard operating environment, identified non‑SOE devices and applications, ensured new devices were captured at regular intervals, streamlined security operations, and strengthened its overall security posture.
