*For this request we are not releasing any individual information on ICT manufacturers or use of ICT Cyber Security systems.

This is due to the following:
1. Any information that could be used by hackers, scammers, and other malicious actors to compromise the Council’s ICT systems and cyber security should not be disclosed to external organisations, partners or members of the public.
