Therein lies the rub. The challenge that we have on a daily basis is staying ahead of the sophisticated threat actors.
One of the members today mentioned artificial intelligence. As much as we're excited about the use of artificial intelligence for good, you could imagine that malicious actors are going to be using artificial intelligence for bad.
I'd like to distinguish between the purple team...which is still very much in pilot project format. It's something that we've just launched. We were relying on departments and agencies to self-report that they had put in place all the measures and defences that we've advocated in our policies and our cyber strategy and our vulnerability programs, etc. The purple team is going in without a department or an agency knowing about it, checking in on them and seeing if those defences are actually up to snuff. We do so in partnership with Shared Services Canada and the CSE, of course, which have the expertise and understand where those vulnerabilities might be. As those things come to light, we are able to test and discover those gaps further.
To your question specifically about how we stay ahead of the sophistication, I think that would be better suited for my colleague, Mr. Gupta, who I think releases annually or every two years the cyber-threat report. CSE is constantly looking at the sophistication that's occurring and is tailoring their services and their defences and their sensor work to counter that.
