My Department implements a multi-layered approach to cyber security and to protecting ICT systems, infrastructures, and services. The threat landscape is constantly evolving and significant effort is expended to continually enhance and strengthen ICT security to mitigate against emerging threats, risks, vulnerabilities and cybersecurity issues. In addition to deploying intrusion protection systems, my Department manages software vulnerabilities by maintaining up-to-date versions.
My Department also continues to work closely with the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC). The NCSC is a division of the Department of Communications, Climate Action & Environment and encompasses the State's national/governmental Computer Security Incident Response Team (CSIRT-IE).
