Cyber Security Strategy Goals
Secure and Resilient Canadian Systems
Through collaborative action with partners and enhanced cyber
security capabilities, we will better protect Canadians from
cybercrime, respond to evolving threats, and defend critical
government and private sector systems.
The Government of Canada will maintain and improve cyber security
across all federal departments and agencies to protect the privacy
of Canadians’ information held by the federal government and the
confidentiality, integrity, and availability of critical services for Canadians.
The Government of Canada will enhance law enforcement capacity to
respond to cybercrime. It will support coordination across law enforcement
agencies and with federal, provincial, territorial, and international partners.
The Government will enhance cybercrime investigative capacity and make
it easier for Canadians to report cybercrime.
Small and medium organizations often lack the knowledge and resources
to implement cyber security regimes, even if doing so would offer a
competitive advantage. The Government of Canada will help support these
organizations — making cyber security more accessible.
In response to cyber threats of increasing sophistication, the Government
of Canada will consider how its advanced cyber capabilities could be
applied to defend critical networks in Canada and deter foreign cyber
threat actors.
