Cybersecurity has been labeled a top priority by chief information officers following frequent criminal activity targeting business operations. A recent release by the FBI states that just shy of a million complaints were received by their Internet Crime department with potential losses valued at around $6.9 billion. Additionally, Statistics Canada reported that one in five businesses were impacted by cybersecurity incidents in 2021. Over one third of these attacks were reported to have no clear motive. In accordance with the escalating nature of these events it is beneficial to turn the focus towards a particularly important field of cybersecurity—this being telecommunication. The intricate, ever-evolving, nature of this industry makes achieving the primary goal of sound telecommunication security very difficult.

It looks favorable that the bill will soon make this transition to become a law. If it does it will authorize the Canadian Government to take the steps they deem necessary to ensure a high quality of security in these “vital” services.
