Two overarching principles will serve to guide Canada’s approach to cyber security: 1. Whole-of-society engagement: All Canadians have a role to play in improving Canada’s national cyber resilience. The Government of Canada will deepen partnerships with key stakeholders to tackle key issues in the cyber security landscape. Partnerships with other levels of government, Indigenous communities, the private sector, academia, and civil society will be critical to developing the solutions that will address tomorrow’s cyber security challenges. Canadians will play an important part, too, as digital citizens and business owners. Improving public awareness and cyber security know-how for all will help to ensure that Canadians are more informed of the cyber threats they face, and more resilient against malicious cyber actors. 2. Agile Leadership: Threats and opportunities in cyberspace continue to evolve at a rapid pace globally; it is critical for Canada to be equipped to respond to emerging risks as they occur. Therefore, rather than a single static plan, Canada’s cyber security solutions will be developed in close collaboration with partners and stakeholders and set out in a series of issue-specific action plans over the coming years. These action plans will outline initiatives for Canada and Canadians with clear outcomes and a commitment to report on results achieved. They will be collaborative and holistic, and will enable Canada to be at the forefront of innovative approaches to cyber security risks and opportunities. This will ensure that our solutions remain relevant and effective as threats evolve. 10 National Cyber Security Strategy
