The Cyber Centre now has access to SecurityScorecard’s industry-leading security
ratings platform to provide actionable insights on evolving cybersecurity
threats facing critical infrastructure. Under this partnership,
SecurityScorecard will enable the Cyber Centre to educate critical
infrastructure owner-operators on the risks facing their organizations,
assisting them to remediate and measure cybersecurity risk in real-time.



Sachin Bansal, Chief Business Officer, SecurityScorecard, said:
“Canada is a leading cybersecurity innovator creating a more collaborative and
resilient digital ecosystem. SecurityScorecard is honored to partner with the
Cyber Centre in safeguarding the critical infrastructure Canadian citizens rely
on every day. This partnership serves as a model for other governments to
collaborate with the private sector to achieve real-time visibility into the
cyber threats facing critical infrastructure. I applaud the Cyber Centre for
being nimble and taking bold action to establish a new standard in trust and
transparency.”



Critical infrastructure faces rising threats and increased exposure to breaches



Cyber incidents impacting critical infrastructure, once comparatively rare, have
become much more common in recent years. According to the Cyber Centre’s
National Cyber Threat Assessment 2023-2024 report, critical infrastructure is
increasingly at risk:



“Cybercriminals exploit critical infrastructure because downtime can be harmful
to their industrial processes and the customers they serve. State-sponsored
actors target critical infrastructure to collect information through espionage,
to pre-position in case of future hostilities, and as a form of power projection
and intimidation.”



By using SecurityScorecard, the Cyber Centre has a simple way to instantly
measure and quantify the cyber risk of any critical infrastructure entity with
an “A” through “F” letter-grade rating system using continuously monitored
threat intelligence data. This information is for the use of critical
infrastructure operators and the Cyber Centre and will not be made public.



Sami Khoury, Head of the Canadian Centre for Cyber Security, added:
“We have comprehensive data on government systems, but our visibility into
emerging threats to critical infrastructure has been limited historically – and
that’s precisely where the greatest risks lie. According to the World Economic
Forum, critical infrastructure remains the prime target for threat actors. Our
partnership with SecurityScorecard provides us with authoritative and trusted
data on critical infrastructure and insight to manage such risk at scale. We are
committed to increasing the confidence of Canadians in the critical systems they
rely on daily, offering support to critical infrastructure networks and other
systems of importance to Canada. This will help the Cyber Centre ensure we can
provide tailored support to critical infrastructure owner-operators vital to the
security of the Canadian economy.”

risks, and works collaboratively with critical infrastructure owners and
regulators to improve resilience and reduce systemic risk.

Funded by world-class investors, including Evolution Equity Partners, Silver
Lake Partners, Sequoia Capital, GV, Riverwood Capital, and others,

over 25,000 organizations for enterprise risk management, third-party risk
