Cyber Security Readiness Goals: Securing Our Most Critical Systems

The Canadian Centre for Cyber Security’s Cyber Security Readiness Goals (CRGs) were developed in response to the growing susceptibility of critical infrastructure (CI) to cyber threats. This guide provides an introduction to the CRGs, and explains how they were developed and how they can be used to enhance cybersecurity and minimise potential risks to society, public safety, and the overall stability of the Canadian economy. The CRGs can be found in full in the Cross-Sector Cyber Security Readiness Goals Toolkit.

Although these goals were developed for critical infrastructure, and for Canadian businesses and multinational firms operating within Canada, the recommendations herein are applicable to all organisations, regardless of geography or jurisdiction.
