Thank you for the question.
Cyber is one of the most persistent and difficult issues that we deal with at this time. It's a tool that is used by adversaries, including our intelligence adversaries, to gain advantage over Canada. We have a robust response. We work with our colleagues in CSE and the Canadian Centre for Cyber Security, and with other government departments, in an effort to identify what cyber-threat actors are engaged, what their targets are in Canada and how they go about doing their attacks, so we can identify mechanisms to defeat those attacks. CSIS's role in that, as much as anything, is in part to help understand why and what targets cyber-actors may be going after.
Where we are seeking to expand our energy and our efforts is to find ways to provide more information to Canadians—beyond the federal government, if possible—which will assist Canadians in being able to protect themselves, whether that be in the private sector or other levels of government. Every level of government is attacked by cyber. The private sector is attacked by cyber. This is a major threat that Canadians face across the spectrum.
