In an increasingly digital world, protecting Canada's information and infrastructure from cyber threats is essential for our national security and economic prosperity. The Government of Canada works to enhance the resilience of our systems, support businesses and individuals in staying safe online, and respond to cyber attacks that target our country. Our efforts are guided by the National Cyber Security Strategy, which aims to create a secure and trusted digital environment for all Canadians.
Canada's critical infrastructure, such as our energy grids, financial systems, and communication networks, increasingly depends on digital technology. We work with the owners and operators of these systems to identify vulnerabilities and implement robust security measures to prevent cyber attacks that could have significant impacts on public safety and the economy. Through the Canadian Centre for Cyber Security, we provide expert advice and technical support to protect our most vital national assets.
Every Canadian has a role to play in cyber security. We provide resources and tips to help you protect your personal information and devices from cyber threats like phishing, malware, and identity theft. This includes using strong passwords, enabling multi-factor authentication, and being cautious about what you click on and share online. Our Get Cybersafe campaign offers practical advice to help you and your family navigate the digital world with confidence and security.
When cyber attacks occur, a coordinated and effective response is crucial. We work with our law enforcement and security partners to investigate cyber incidents, mitigate their impact, and bring those responsible to justice. We also provide support to organizations that have been targeted by cyber attacks, helping them recover their systems and improve their security to prevent future incidents. Our national cyber incident response plan ensures that we can quickly and effectively address cyber threats to our country.
Cyber threats are global in nature and require an international response. Canada works closely with its allies and international partners to promote a stable and secure cyber space and to develop international norms for responsible state behavior online. We also participate in international efforts to combat cyber crime and improve the collective security of the global digital environment. Our international engagement is essential for protecting Canada's interests in an interconnected world.
