The leader of the federal government’s new cybersecurity agency made a pitch Thursday to some of the “big fish” for hackers — bankers — asking lenders to work with the organization to make the country an unappealing target for digital attackers.
In addition to helping defend the federal systems, the organization also aims to provide information and to share its knowledge with Canadian individuals and businesses, acting as a sort of one-stop shop for government security experts and advice.In December, the centre released its first national cyber-threat assessment, which described an attack method called “whaling.”
Jones also delivered a message of cooperation to the bankers, saying that they are seeking security through collaboration, meaning they need to find ways to talk and share information. We need to get to the point where we trust each other enough to say 'I think there’s something strange going on'
