The present report includes measures taken to guard against any threats of cyberattack and additional resource requirements in the amount of $3,440,700 before recosting, under section 29E, Office of Information and Communications Technology, of the proposed programme budget for the biennium 2014-2015, in order to address the most urgent information security needs of the Organization.
