My Department has training and awareness campaigns in place in relation to its IT Systems and cyber security best practices. My Department works closely with the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), which encompasses the State's national/governmental Computer Security Incident Response Team (CSIRT-IE), and operates in accordance with NCSC guidance in this regard.
My Department does not comment on operational security matters as it would be inappropriate to disclose information that may in any way assist those with malicious intent.
