I refer to ICT
compatibility in relation to the Digital WA strategy, and ask for each
department and agency under your control:
(a) are all computers currently utilising Microsoft
software that is supported by Microsoft (only versions since 2014);
(b) how many computers are currently using Windows
XP;
(c) how many computers are currently using Internet
Explorer version 10 (IE10) or older;
(d) what is the privacy risk for your departments
and agencies for using software that is no longer supported by Microsoft; and
(e) have you been made aware of the potential for
information to be externally accessed by your departments using software no
longer supported by Microsoft?
