These entities hold core public-facing cyber roles and functions, serving as the
primary windows into the Government of Canada — the Canadian Centre for Cyber
Security, Public Safety Canada, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and the Canadian
Security Intelligence Service. Many more have subject-specific roles that involve public
engagement or partnership of different kinds.
Accompanying this Strategy is a call to partnership. For Canadians and Canadian
organizations of all sizes to report cyber incidents and cybercrime — of all kinds. To
leverage funding to advance cyber innovation, and to help communities and businesses
become more cyber secure. To inform policy and regulation. To improve cyber hygiene,
digital literacy, and public awareness. Here is where stakeholders can turn.
