Critical Infrastructure Processes, systems, facilities, technologies, networks, assets and services essential to the health, safety, security or economic well-being of Canadians and the effective functioning of government. Cybercrime Any crime where a cyber element (i.e., the Internet and information technologies such as computers, tablets, or smart phones, etc.) has a substantial role in the commission of a criminal offence. In broad terms, the RCMP breaks cybercrime into two categories: technology-as-target; and technology-as-instrument. A crime committed with the aid of, or directly involving, a data processing system or computer network. The computer or its data may be the target of the crime, or the computer may be the tool with which the crime is committed. Cyber Incident Any unauthorized attempt, whether successful or not, to gain access to, modify, destroy, delete or render unavailable any computer network or system resource. Cyber Operation Action taken in and through cyberspace to disrupt and interfere with or defend against the ability of a threat actor to operate online. Cyber Resilience The ability to anticipate, withstand, recover from, and adapt to adverse conditions, stresses, malicious cyber activities, or compromises on systems that use or are enabled by cyber resources. Cyber Security The protection of digital information, as well as the integrity of the infrastructure housing and transmitting digital information. More specifically, cyber security includes the body of technologies, processes, practices and response and mitigation measures designed to protect networks, computers, programs and data from malicious cyber activities, damage or unauthorized access so as to ensure confidentiality, integrity and availability. 42 National Cyber Security Strategy
