hmm, i should have read the article at the URL before posting:
the new centre is indeed largely about collecting and spreading 
information about attacks and preventing them.  

ominously, however, they are making information protection 
the focus of their IT departments, when they should instead
be making information more accessible.  

Where can we see real data showing there's an increase in 
breakins and what systems are affected?
