Canada develops new cyber security strategy
The Canadian Government is developing a new cyber security strategy, according to Peter Van Loan, the country’s Public Safety Minister.
Van Loan says that hackers are constantly inventing new methods of infiltration as previous holes are patched.
“It’s the new frontier. It’s kind of like the new arms race: there are continuing escalations,” he adds.
“We don’t have a day go by when there isn’t some effort by someone somewhere in the world to breach government security systems.”
The country’s key computer networks have been broken into repeated over the last few years, prompting the government to take action against this mounting threat.
Van Loan says the government is now working on “an overall cyber-security strategy” that encompasses both public and private sectors.
As the country shares many key computer networks with the US, Canadian security officials are working closely with their American counterparts.
President Barack Obama of the US ordered a cyber security review of government operations earlier this year, and the study is expected to be completed in a few days.
