Security of digital resources is a key component of my Department's Digital Transformation Strategy. It is Departmental policy that no unauthorised or unlicensed computer software is permitted on its information and communications networks. Strict controls are in place to prevent installation of such software and a full inventory is maintained. No instance of misuse of software has been identified. Oversight is provided by the Governance Committee for Digital Transformation.
