Can I call bollocks on this? Having done IDS stuff for a couple of large  
UK companies I have seen nowt other than a few script kiddies, millions of  
port scans and SQL Slammer (why isn't this dead yet).

Sounds like he's making a play to introduce more crap legistation...  
Unless he's truly stupid enough to think that SQL slammer == sustained  
attack...
