My Department takes the security of its Information Technology systems very seriously. Our technical staff continue to operate and monitor all relevant systems to the highest levels and are closely engaged with experts in the Office of the Government's Chief Information Officer and the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) to ensure that best practice is followed as it relates to all aspects of Cybersecurity including the implementation of additional measures if required. For operational and security reasons, it would not be appropriate to disclose details of systems and processes which could in any way compromise those efforts or which might inadvertently assist criminals to identify potential vulnerabilities in my Department's Cybersecurity arrangements.
