75. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications if additional security measures will be taken to impede and prevent the intrusion of hackers in his Department’s IT system and to ensure an early warning system is in place which will trigger an ultimate defence; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerFor operational and security reasons, my department has been advised by the NCSC not to disclose details which could in any way identify potential vulnerabilities in Departmental Cybersecurity arrangements, therefore, it is not considered appropriate to disclose particular arrangements in place in relation to IT security tools and services. My Department does not comment on operational security matters.
