Cybersecurity

Addressing the cybersecurity posture of Canadian business through supportive public policy and industry standards and tools.

Our Position

The digitization of business has presented new challenges to protecting consumer data, trade secrets and operational infrastructure from intrusion. These challenges have obligated a new approach to risk management. Digitization has also opened the door to new opportunities to innovate. We advocate for a multilateral approach to regulatory measures, incentives for cyber hygiene and cyber innovation and encourage information sharing between business and government.
