This list supersedes ITSB-89, the Top 35 Mitigation Measures, and is based on CSE’s analysis of the cyber threat activity trends that impact Government of Canada (GC) Internet-connected networks.
"The Communications Security Establishment (CSE) plays a vital role in detecting and defending against cyber threats to the Government of Canada (GC). These threats are persistent, sophisticated, and continually evolving – as are CSE’s Information Technology (IT) security publications. CSE’s publications are tools that GC departments can use to improve their security posture against cyber threats. CSE’s publications address IT security topics that departments should consider and highlight measures that organizations should implement to bolster their IT security posture.
"The Communications Security Establishment (CSE) released its first unclassified, public Annual Report. This past year has been a notable one for CSE, highlighted by the CSE Act coming into effect, setting out CSE’s lead role as the national authority for foreign intelligence and as the national technical authority for cyber security and information assurance. The CSE Act also reinforced the crucial elements of openness, transparency and accountability that are essential to CSE’s work. This Annual Report is one of those elements.
"Patching operating systems and applications is one of the Top 10 Security Actions in CSE’s Top 10 IT Security Actions to Protect Government of Canada Internet-Connected Networks and Information (ITSB-89 Version 3). Implementing the Top 10 security actions as a package would prevent the vast majority of intrusions to which CSE currently responds.
Applying patches to operating systems, applications and devices is a critical activity in ensuring the security of systems. This document provides guidance on assessing known vulnerabilities and patches in order to determine the risk posed to an organization, the relative priority for patch deployment, as well as guidelines on how to deploy patches."
