Le 31 mai 2023 - Ottawa (Ontario) - Services publics et Approvisionnement Canada
Le gouvernement du Canada est déterminé à mettre en œuvre des mesures de cybersécurité robustes, ce qui est fondamental pour la stabilité économique et la sécurité nationale du Canada.
Aujourd'hui, l'honorable Anita Anand, ministre de la Défense nationale, au nom de l'honorable Helena Jaczek, ministre des Services publics et de l’Approvisionnement, a annoncé que le gouvernement du Canada élaborera et mettra en œuvre un Programme canadien de certification en matière de cybersécurité qui se traduira par la mise en place d’exigences de certification obligatoires dans certains contrats de défense fédéraux, et ce, dès l'hiver 2024.
Services publics et Approvisionnement Canada (SPAC), en partenariat avec la Défense nationale et le Conseil canadien des normes, dirigera les efforts du gouvernement du Canada pour établir ce nouveau programme. Des séances de consultation menées auprès de l'industrie de la défense et d'autres intervenants clés devraient commencer à la fin de 2023.
L'industrie canadienne de la défense est fréquemment visée par des activités cybernétiques malveillantes qui ciblent les entrepreneurs et les sous-traitants et qui menacent la protection des renseignements fédéraux non classifiés. Afin de protéger les chaînes d'approvisionnement essentielles à la défense du Canada, il est impératif que le pays prenne des mesures à cet égard.
Sans certification, les fournisseurs canadiens risquent d'être exclus des futurs marchés publics internationaux de défense. Le nouveau programme aura l’objectif de réduire la charge de l'industrie en visant la reconnaissance mutuelle entre le Canada et les États-Unis, ce qui permettra aux fournisseurs canadiens certifiés d'être reconnus par les deux administrations.
« Les menaces qui pèsent sur la cybersécurité sont complexes et évoluent rapidement, et dans le domaine de l’approvisionnement de défense, les cyberincidents constituent une menace à la protection des renseignements fédéraux non classifiés. C'est pourquoi nous prenons des mesures afin de protéger notre chaîne d'approvisionnement de défense en mettant en place un Programme canadien de certification en matière de cybersécurité pour protéger la population et les entreprises canadiennes. »
L'honorable Helena Jaczek
Ministre des Services publics et de l’Approvisionnement
« La cybersécurité est la sécurité nationale. Au gouvernement et dans le secteur privé, nous devons modifier nos pratiques en fonction d’un environnement de sécurité en évolution. Aujourd’hui, nous présentons un plan afin d’améliorer la résilience des chaînes d’approvisionnement de la défense. Ce Programme de certification en matière de cybersécurité contribuera à faire en sorte que les Forces armées canadiennes aient les outils sécurisés nécessaires pour répondre aux exigences opérationnelles, dès maintenant et dans le futur. Cette certification augmentera la confiance à l’égard de la résilience des fournisseurs canadiens. Par conséquent, notre industrie de la défense de classe mondiale en bénéficiera aussi, et elle sera encore mieux placée pour avoir accès aux possibilités d’approvisionnement de nos proches alliés. »
L’honorable Anita Anand
Ministre de la Défense nationale
« Grâce à cette nouvelle certification, nous protégeons nos chaînes d’approvisionnement essentielles et nous veillons à ce que les fournisseurs canadiens puissent continuer de jouer un rôle clé au sein des chaînes d’approvisionnement de l’industrie de la défense des États-Unis, car ils sont indispensables à la croissance de notre économie, à la création d’emplois et à la prospérité des travailleurs partout au Canada. »
L’honorable François-Philippe Champagne
Ministre de l’Innovation, des Sciences et de l’Industrie
Dans le cadre du budget de 2023, le gouvernement du Canada a affecté 25 millions de dollars sur 3 ans à la création d'un nouveau Programme canadien de certification en matière de cybersécurité pour les marchés de défense.
Le nouveau Programme canadien de certification en matière de cybersécurité contribuera à maintenir l'accès des entreprises canadiennes aux marchés publics internationaux avec les proches alliés et partenaires du Canada, pour lesquels une certification obligatoire en matière de cybersécurité est exigée.
L'accroissement de la résilience de la base industrielle de défense du gouvernement du Canada en matière de cybersécurité renforcera les objectifs du Plan d’action national en matière de cybersécurité et de la Stratégie nationale de cybersécurité du Canada.
L'Évaluation des cybermenaces nationales 2023-2024 du Centre canadien pour la cybersécurité estime que les organisations canadiennes continueront d'être la cible de cybermenaces malveillantes par des acteurs parrainés par un État au cours des 2 prochaines années.
Le Programme canadien de certification en matière de cybersécurité permettra de vérifier et de renforcer les mesures de cybersécurité prises par les entreprises de défense canadiennes afin de protéger leurs réseaux, leurs systèmes et leurs applications.

Britain is signalling its interest in working with the Canadian military in the Arctic by offering to take part in cold-weather exercises and bring in some of its more advanced capabilities — such as nuclear-powered submarines — to help with surveillance and defence in the Far North.

The Aerospace, Defence and Security Expo (ADSE) has wrapped its ninth annual successful conference and trade show, marking the first major gathering of Canada's aerospace sector since the release of the Aerospace Industries Association of Canada's (AIAC) industry-led Vision 2025 report. “ADSE 2019 once again attracted a broad cross-section of aerospace, defence and security industry representatives, from across Canada and around the world, with interests in ensuring Canada remains a leader in an increasingly fierce competitive global economy,” said Jim Quick, president and CEO of AIAC. “Their continued collaboration and input are vital as we move ahead with the six key priorities identified during the months of cross-country consultations that informed our report, Charting a New Course.” The six priorities are: Building the most skilled and talented workforce in the world; Ensuring small and medium-sized aerospace businesses thrive and grow; Using innovation to capture new opportunities, including carbon-neutral flight and unmanned vehicles; Investing to maintain Canada's status as a world-class regulator; Leveraging Canada's role at the forefront of space; Maximizing defence procurement and government partnerships to drive new industrial growth. ADSE 2019 featured an impressive line-up of speakers as well as industry exhibits, keynote speeches, panels and workshops, together with numerous B2B and networking opportunities. High-profile presenters included: Carla Qualtrough, Canadian minister of Public Services and Procurement and Accessibility Harjit Sajjan, minister of National Defence Bruce Ralston, B.C. minister of Jobs, Trade and Technology Dave Curtis, executive chair, Longview Aviation Capital Lorraine Ben, chief executive, Lockheed Martin Canada Bob Cantwell, managing director, Boeing Canada and Boeing Vancouver Florian Sodtke, Heat of Combat Air Systems Marketing, Airbus Defence and Space ADSE is a world-class aerospace exhibition. It is Western Canada's largest aerospace event and the only Canadian expo linked to a major international airshow. Hosted by AIAC (Pacific division) it occurs each August in Abbotsford, B.C., in conjunction with the Abbotsford International Airshow. AIAC and AIAC Pacific wish to extend special thanks to ADSE's nearly 30 sponsors in 2019 — especially presenting partners Western Economic Diversification Canada and the Province of British Columbia, and platinum partners the City of Abbotsford, Cascade Aerospace, KF Aerospace, and Lockheed Martin — for their generous and ongoing support, without which ADSE would not be possible. https://www.skiesmag.com/press-releases/aerospace-defence-and-security-expo-adse-marks-next-phase-of-vision-2025/
