Emergency Telecommunications - Projects
Canadian Telecommunications Cyber Protection (CTCP)
Industry Canada has a lead government role to foster
enhanced telecommunications security and assurance.
This work is part of Industry Canada's mandate and
also supports Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness Canada (PSEPC) and
their
National Critical Infrastructure Assurance Program (NCIAP).
To complement our strengths in the emergency
preparedness and physical protection areas, Industry
Canada in collaboration with the telecom industry,
will be addressing telecom assurance from cyber
threats, vulnerabilities and terrorism. Cyber
protection is globally recognized as a major concern
of industries and governments alike, domestically and
internationally.
Industry Canada and the telecommunication industry will investigate critical
infrastructure protection (CIP) opportunities such as computer emergency response capabilities (CERTs),
IS/IT security baselines/standards, the need for cyber vulnerability exercises, participation in North
American and international network security associations.
