Cyber security is top of mind for many Canadians. On February 6, 2025, the Honourable David McGuinty, Minister of Public Safety, announced the Government of Canada's new National Cyber Security Strategy (NCSS), made of two main principles :
- Whole-of-society engagement: The Government of Canada will deepen partnerships with key stakeholders to address crucial issues in the cyber security landscape. Partnerships with other levels of government, law enforcement, Indigenous communities, the private sector, academia, and civil society will be critical to developing the solutions that will address tomorrow’s cyber security challenges.
- Agile leadership: Canada’s cyber security solutions will be developed in close collaboration with partners and stakeholders and set out in a series of issue-specific action plans over the coming years, that will provide opportunities for the Government of Canada to make ongoing investments in Canada’s cyber security.
Those two principles will deliver results under three pillars:
- Working with partners to protect Canadians and Canadian businesses from cyber threats;
- Making Canada a global cyber security leader; and
- Detecting and disrupting cyber threat actors.
