My Department applies best practice and uses industry standard security protection devices, procedures and software to protect its computer systems from security breaches. A number of measures are currently in place in my Department to protect its computer systems. My Department regularly reviews and updates these security procedures as a matter of course. My Department also evaluates and reviews information security products and technologies as they come to market and implements them where appropriate. We will continue this practice.
