Cyber Security

Cyber security has been identified as a priority area in the Canadian Securities Administrators ("CSA") 2016 2019 Business Plan as well as by some CSA members. Accordingly, the CSA is working to promote cyber security awareness and resilience. More specifically, the CSA is working to:

• assess the level of issuers, registrants and regulated entities (collectively, "Market Participants") cyber security resilience, including measures for protection of personal investor data
• improve collaboration and communication on cyber security issues with Market Participants; and
• improve Market Participants' understanding of CSA members' cyber security oversight activities, including providing guidance on expectations for Market Participants' cyber security preparedness.
