2018-2020 Accomplishments Under the National Cross Sector Forum 2018-2020 Action Plan for Critical Infrastructure, PS completed an examination of the National Strategy and Canada’s overall approach to critical infrastructure. This occurred through engagement with key national critical infrastructure stakeholders, including: the National Cross Sector Forum (NCSF), Lead Federal Departments (LFDs), the Federal/ Provincial/Territorial (FPT) Working Group for Critical Infrastructure, and limited one-on-one meetings with members of the broader critical infrastructure community, as well as academia. During this period, PS continued to conduct all-hazards risk assessments through the Regional Resilience Assessment Program (RRAP). This included working with provinces and territories to determine priority sites for assessment, and to identify and implement measures to increase the impact and reach of the RRAP. Between 2018 and 2020, RRAP continued work on broader all-hazards regional assessments with the third crossborder RRAP project; maintained a high critical infrastructure owner/ operator satisfaction rating; and created sector profiles by analyzing aggregate data from site assessments. PS also worked closely with critical infrastructure stakeholders to expand the reach of its cyber engagement mechanisms, including through the Industrial Control System (ICS) Security Symposiums. ICS Security Symposiums brought together Canada’s critical infrastructure owners and operators for briefings on the latest threats, hands-on development of incident handler skills, and information to increase the security of ICS. PS also launched a web conference series where industry experts provided briefings on topics related to ICS security. The inaugural meeting reached capacity and has allowed PS to expand its reach to stakeholders across the country. Cross-sector tabletop exercises in coordination with LFDs, provinces and territories, municipalities and critical infrastructure owners and operators also continued through Nexus Vitalis 2019. These exercises brought together the critical infrastructure community to simulate responses to allhazard attacks (e.g. cyber attacks), as well as to reinforce new and existing partnerships by sharing information and tackling shared problems. PS completed the Nexus Vitalis exercise series in three different regions (Saskatchewan, British Columbia, and Atlantic Canada) in spring 2019. Given that private owners and operators of critical infrastructure depend on important event and steady state information from the Government NATIONAL CROSS SECTOR FORUM 2021-2023 ACTION PLAN FOR CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE 3
