The Department implements a security-by-design and defence-in-depth approach to cyber security. Each stage of the project lifecycle from business case, funding approval, project initiation and service introduction through to the development and implementation of ICT systems and networks must pass through numerous steps to satisfy cyber security and information security policies. Accordingly, it is not possible to separately identify the cyber security and information security components of much of the IT spend for the Department, because security is designed into how systems and networks are developed, built and managed.
