What it does
The security activities associated with this program are the management of risks, through the integration and compliance of identified security requirements into end-to-end operations of SSC managed IT infrastructure to ensure that people, information, assets and services are safeguarded in accordance with GC policy instruments, and that SSC and its customers manage the risks to each other or the government as a whole.

|---|---|---|---|
| Infrastructure Security | Earlier program (name match, low confidence) | 2018-19 – 2021-22 | $215M |
