Commodore Richard Feltham (Director General, Cyberspace, Department of National Defence) at the Public Safety and National Security Committee

Thank you, Mr. Chair.

I can't give you the specific numbers of state and non-state actors we see trying to penetrate the networks both within our structure and outside of it on a daily basis, but I can tell you that both state and non-state actors are trying to penetrate networks, and that number is rising every week—every day, almost.

I can't give you the specific breakdown. I don't have those numbers with me today, but state and non-state actors are involved in that domain, and the numbers are rising.
