"embrace the opportunities that modern IT can bring."

Is there a moral hazard here? I imagine that the "opportunities" are ultimately about saving money, since any other benefits can be obtained simply by spending more to implement whatever in-house. But do the same people who benefit from the saving also bear any increased risk?

e.g. Do we all collectively bear an increased nuclear proliferation risk, but just the AWE contractors benefit financially, or are the savings passed back to the taxpayer?
