Amharc ar fhreagraMy Department takes ICT Security extremely seriously.
I understand that there are a limited number of machines operating on the system to which the Deputy refers remaining on the Department's ICT Network and that these will be replaced over the coming weeks. My Department operates a layered security model which will protect the Department's ICT assets during this replacement process.
