My Department takes the risk of cyber attacks on its ICT network very seriously. There are no separate figures for email security costs in my Department as security is an integrated aspect of all ICT services. The figures for expenditure on ICT in my Department for the last 5 years are:
1 | 2016 | € 11,718,240.56 |
---|---|---|
2 | 2017 | € 10,304,745.12 |
3 | 2018 | € 12,072,621.11 |
4 | 2019 | € 12,011,064.79 |
5 | 2020 | € 12,858,108.94 |
Various contractors are used to supply ICT services in my Department and these are listed and costed on the Department's website.
