My Department implements a security-by-design and defence-in-depth approach to cyber security. The department monitors and responds to cyber security events on a continual basis, working alongside industry partners and other government agencies. For operational and security reasons, we do not disclose arrangements in place in relation to cyber security tools and services and my Department does not comment on operational security matters.
