301. Deputy Louise O'Reilly asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage how many staff members in his Department have received training in cyber security in the past three years; what types of cyber security training programmes have been conducted; if he will provide details of these programmes; and of the staff trained in cyber security, how many have obtained accredited cyber security qualifications.

View answerMy 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.
