                GCSE difference, if you have access to (on-line) resources

Security and assurance concerns
   Today restricted data usually sent over private
    network
   Shared networks can provide connectivity to GCSX
    (Government Secure eXtranet) for sensitive data
   Shared networks can prioritise traffic types


   However;
   Any shared network solution MUST assure complete
    privacy of restricted data from other community
    groups
   In state of emergency certain user groups MUST be
    given assured use of limited network capacity
