The Deputy will appreciate that the Central Bank is not in a position to disclose or discuss the details of its security model or operations. However, security operations are reviewed regularly to ensure they operate to current best practices and in the most effective and efficient manner. In addition, as is the case with all business operations, in the event that there were to be any changes that were to impact on staff, the Bank is committed to engaging through normal consultative channels.
