OTTAWA — Innovation Minister François-Philippe Champagne is pressing G7 countries to establish a quick-reaction group on cybersecurity to help build up resilience to attacks following the invasion of Ukraine.
Speaking after the G7 meeting, the minister said the proposed cybersecurity working group would help better prepare Canada and its allies to fend off cyberaggression now and in future. The statement said it could"occur as a response to the unprecedented economic costs imposed on Russia as well as material support provided by the United States and U.S. allies and partners."
Last year, state-sponsored actors from China"engaged in the unprecedented and indiscriminate exploitation of Microsoft Exchange servers, putting several thousand Canadians entities at risk," the report said.
