Canada’s Cyber Security Strategy 2010 The Government of Canada’s first Cyber Security Strategy allocated $431.5 million over ten years, with three pillars of action and wideranging accomplishments: I. Securing Government systems The Government of Canada increased its capacity to prevent, detect, respond to, and recover from cyber attacks. The number of data breaches has steadily declined since 2010 — despite an increase in the number and sophistication of state-sponsored and non-state cyber activities against Government networks. II. Partnering to secure vital cyber systems outside the federal government Partnerships were forged with owners and operators of Canada’s critical infrastructure, the private sector, and provincial and territorial governments. The Canadian Cyber Incident Response Centre (CCIRC) expanded its operations, with over 1300 organizations receiving regular alerts and communications. III. Helping Canadians to be secure online Through the Get Cyber Safe campaign, the Government of Canada supported cyber security awareness with outreach, activities, and development of targeted resources. Efforts made under the 2010 Strategy also improved the capacity of the RCMP and law enforcement agencies to combat cybercrime, including initial investments in cybercrime intelligence, investigations, and training. 6 of 35 • NATIONAL CYBER SECURITY STRATEGY
