There are more than 100 million malicious attacks on the government network a day, and they are growing in sophistication and intensity, so that is a very serious risk.

Government Operations committee  The transformation plan will bring it all together. It is coming together for the fall. It will bring together the costs, the savings, the benchmarking to industry, and where we plan for our unit costs to be. We will have forecasts of service growth, so we will bring the whole pa
