"It's deeply frustrating when your tech doesn't work", he says, explaining that the government are assessing the impact and will put out a statement once they've finished. "Microsoft are onto the problem, they're making steps for it and I hope that they can resolve it very soon," he says. "But I'm afraid that in an environment where we're so dependent on technology, we do need to make sure that these systems are more resilient and where there are problems, that they can recover faster," he adds. "I imagine that is the conversation that many of my government cyber colleagues are having with Microsoft at this moment."'
