I can confirm that my Department’s IT Infrastructure has a breadth of infrastructure monitoring in place and provide a 24/7 service, however for operational security reasons, my Department is not in a position to provide further details of its cyber security systems as it would be inappropriate to disclose information that may in any way assist those with malicious intent.

Guidance from Government in relation to ICT security is a matter for the National Cyber Security Centre.
