Prediction of Rip-Currents and Extreme Wave Probabilities

FY 2020-21 · 2020-12-08

Summary
This project aims to generate research and communication products that will contribute to cyber knowledge base and capacity building objectives for critical infrastructure protection in Canada. This project has two goals involving a multiyear, phased, engagement of Canadian farm operators, levels of government, and the private sector. The first being assessing the cyber security capacity of the Canadian agricultural sector to identify and characterize threats to, and practices for promoting, cyber security among segments of farm operators through use cases from selected sub‐sector. The second goal being engaging Canadian farm operators and other stakeholders to develop and disseminate awareness building tools and resources related to the cyber security of farming operations. The proposed project will be participatory, informed throughout via an intentional process of stakeholder engagement.

Description
This project aims to generate research and communication products that will contribute to cyber knowledge base and capacity building objectives for critical infrastructure protection in Canada. This project has two goals involving a multiyear, phased, engagement of Canadian farm operators, levels of government, and the private sector. The first being assessing the cyber security capacity of the Canadian agricultural sector to identify and characterize threats to, and practices for promoting, cyber security among segments of farm operators through use cases from selected sub‐sector.

Description (French)
Ce projet vise à générer des produits de recherche et de communication qui contribueront à la base de connaissances cybernétiques et aux objectifs de renforcement des capacités pour la protection des infrastructures critiques au Canada. Ce projet a deux objectifs qui impliquent un engagement pluriannuel et progressif des exploitants agricoles canadiens, des différents niveaux de gouvernement et du secteur privé. Le premier objectif est d'évaluer la capacité de cybersécurité du secteur agricole canadien afin d'identifier et de caractériser les menaces et les pratiques de promotion de la cybersécurité parmi les segments d'exploitants agricoles à l'aide de cas d'utilisation provenant de sous-secteurs sélectionnés. Le second objectif est d'inciter les exploitants agricoles canadiens et d'autres parties prenantes à élaborer et à diffuser des outils et des ressources de sensibilisation à la cybersécurité des exploitations agricoles. Le projet proposé sera participatif et éclairé par un processus intentionnel d'engagement des parties prenantes.
Expected Results
The expected outcomes are that non-federal Canadian systems and information are less vulnerable and better secured against cyber threats,  as well as evaluation findings and recommendations identify options for sustaining improvements in understanding of cyber vulnerabilities and threats among agricultural sector stakeholders.
Expected Results (French)
Les résultats attendu sont que les systèmes et informations canadiens non fédéraux soient moins vulnérables et mieux protégés contre les cybermenaces. Les résultats de l'évaluation et les recommandations identifient les options permettant d'améliorer durablement la compréhension des vulnérabilités et des menaces cybernétiques parmi les parties prenantes du secteur agricole.
