This project aims to generate research and communication products that will contribute to cyber knowledge base and capacity building objectives for critical infrastructure protection in Canada. This project has two goals involving a multiyear, phased, engagement of Canadian farm operators, levels of government, and the private sector. The first being assessing the cyber security capacity of the Canadian agricultural sector to identify and characterize threats to, and practices for promoting, cyber security among segments of farm operators through use cases from selected sub‐sector. The second goal being engaging Canadian farm operators and other stakeholders to develop and disseminate awareness building tools and resources related to the cyber security of farming operations. The proposed project will be participatory, informed throughout via an intentional process of stakeholder engagement.

Public Safety Canada

The expected outcomes are that non-federal Canadian systems and information are less vulnerable and better secured against cyber threats,  as well as evaluation findings and recommendations identify options for sustaining improvements in understanding of cyber vulnerabilities and threats among agricultural sector stakeholders.
