NC-CIPSER is at the forefront of pioneering a safer future for Canada’s critical infrastructure. We are spearheading the creation of the Canadian Assessment and Vulnerability Analysis System (CANVAS), a groundbreaking Canadian-Specific Dataset dedicated to identifying and researching threats, risks, and hazards to our nation’s critical infrastructure. We will build and maintain a comprehensive threat and hazard library.
Objective:
Our mission is to forge strong partnerships and collaborations to build and integrate a comprehensive, Canadian-specific dataset. CANVAS is designed to revolutionize threat and risk assessments and emergency management planning, bolstering the protection, security, and resilience of critical infrastructures and communities across Canada. Scientific-driven information, analysis and insights fuel modern, simple, accessible knowledge-translation for critical infrastructure stakeholders. We will share insights and resources on threats and hazards.
Why It Matters:
In an era where threats to critical infrastructure are increasingly complex and interconnected, from climate change to cyber-attacks, a collaborative approach to threat assessment and emergency management is crucial. The importance of CANVAS lies in its ability to eliminate the duplication of effort and wasted resources across federal departments, provinces, and territories that are currently conducting similar threat assessments in silos. Without a centralized, standardized approach, these overlapping efforts lead to inefficiencies, inconsistencies, and gaps in identifying and addressing critical threats to Canada’s infrastructure. By creating a unified and collaborative system, CANVAS streamlines data collection and analysis, ensuring that resources are allocated effectively and that decision-makers at all levels have access to the same comprehensive and accurate information. This coordinated approach not only enhances national resilience but also saves significant time, money, and effort while fostering collaboration across jurisdictions.
CANVAS will be the ‘finger-on-the-pulse’ and aims to significantly enhance the precision, relevance, and efficacy of risk assessments. This initiative will empower informed decision-making, elevate national security, and ensure alignment with Canadian standards and regulations. By maintaining dynamic datasets that fuel research, innovation, and insights, CANVAS will also offer a platform for the next generation of intelligence analysts and CI professionals to make a meaningful impact.
