About the Cyber Security Review
The input received through the Cyber Review was comprehensive,
sophisticated, and insightful. Responses came from the federal government
cyber community, cyber security experts, business leaders, government
officials, law enforcement, academics, and engaged citizens.
The Cyber Review revealed three main trends:
There is support for law enforcement’s efforts to address cybercrime while
protecting privacy in cyberspace
•
There is recognition that cyber security serves to protect personal
information — and by extension, privacy. Canadians support efforts to
safeguard their privacy online.
•
Canadians acknowledge that law enforcement faces challenges
addressing cybercrime, and are concerned by the rising threat of
cybercrime for individuals, private and public sector organizations, and
governments.
There is a wide ranging need for improved cyber security knowledge
and skills
•
Better cyber security knowledge and skills are needed. This extends from
our children to our elderly and from our small and medium business
owners to our law enforcement agencies and corporate executives.
•
A shortage of cyber security talent makes it difficult for organizations —
including the federal government — to attract and retain the people they
need to improve their cyber security or to disrupt cyber threats.
