View answerMy Department publishes public information on a number of social media platforms including Meta.
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. I can say however that my Department has policies in place to cover social media usage.
My Department also continues to work closely with the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) which encompasses the State's national/governmental Computer Security Incident Response Team (CSIRT-IE)
