This significant investment in the Cyber agenda will help ensure that the ongoing threat to our information and systems is minimised. Expenditure will allow the council to retire and replace end of life and non-compliant critical corporate reporting capabilities as well as ensuring council applications will run successfully on the new Windows 10 operating system being implemented under the Essential Services Programme (ESP). It will also allow the council to have a planned programme of application consolidation, refresh and retirement which will afford the potential for financial savings in hardware, software, support and maintenance costs.
