The Canadian Conservatives’ 2015-16 federal budget sees additional investment in security, with $36.4 million promised over five years to address cybersecurity threats, reports The Vancouver Observer.
The Star explains that new legislation will “set standards for companies operating ‘vital cyber systems’ to safeguard their network’s security, meet ‘robust’ security goals and report hacking incidents to federal government.” They speculate that ‘vital cyber systems’ may refer to telecommunications firms and internet service providers.
