My Department recognises fully that security of its IT infrastructure is key in ensuring the safety and integrity of its systems, files and data. This is achieved through a combination of staff training, security policies and processes and appropriate technological solutions that include security monitoring. For security reasons, my Department does not comment on specific details of its IT Security apparatus supporting this infrastructure.

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