1.2 Enhance information sharing at all classification levels and collaborate on training opportunities, while promoting inter‐agency coordination, as appropriate, as well as the proper protections for information, as outlined in the Statement of Privacy Principles; 1.3 Coordinate on cybersecurity incident response management, relating to defense, mitigation, and remediation activities and products, including with other public and private entities consistent with each country’s laws and policies; 1.4 Align and standardize cyber incident management processes and escalation procedures; and 1.5 Enhance technical and operational information sharing in the area of industrial control systems security. 2. Joint Engagement and Information Sharing with the Private Sector on Cybersecurity Due to the shared nature of critical infrastructure between Canada and the United States, PS and DHS intend to collaborate on cybersecurity‐focused private‐sector engagement for cybersecurity activities for which they are responsible through the following objectives: 2.1 Share engagement approaches for private sector; 2.2 Exchange and collaborate on the development of briefing materials for the private sector; 2.3 Jointly conduct private sector briefings; 2.4 Review approaches and align processes for private sector engagement through requests for technical assistance and non‐disclosure agreements; and 2.5 Standardize protocols for sharing information. 3. Continued Cooperation on Ongoing Cybersecurity Public Awareness Efforts Cybersecurity is a shared responsibility and everyone, including our citizens, has a role to play. With increased media attention devoted to cybersecurity incidents and with the continuing growth of electronic commerce and social media, it is imperative that citizens receive clear and trustworthy information on how to manage cyber threats to themselves and their families. Ensuring that government’s cybersecurity awareness messages are consistent across our border helps to deliver that information effectively and consistently. PS Communications, the DHS Office of Public Affairs, and the National Protection and Program Directorate’s Office of Cybersecurity and Communications (CS&C) intend to continue to work together as they: 3.1 Collaborate on public awareness campaigns (websites, social media activities, education material, etc.); 3.2 Collaborate on Cybersecurity Awareness Month (October); and 3.3 Share and coordinate messaging on issues of common interest.
