Canadian municipalities have unique cybersecurity concerns and needs
Municipalities typically support a diverse group of geographically dispersed users over corporate and public networks. They are also digitizing and integrating more services and IoT projects. This combination makes them a high-profile target for cyber-crime. With CIRA, municipalities get cybersecurity that is delivered from Canadian servers, peered to networks that are close to Canadian users, and maintain data privacy and sovereignty.
CIRA shares the vision of serving Canadians by helping to build a better online Canada.
