Minister for Education

For operational and security reasons, it is not appropriate to disclose details of my Department’s Cyber Security arrangements. Any disclosure of information in relation to cyber security matters could assist malicious actors in identifying potential vulnerabilities and potentially compromise my Department’s information security posture.
