"The Communications Security Establishment (CSE) released its first unclassified, public Annual Report.
This past year has been a notable one for CSE, highlighted by the CSE Act coming into effect, setting out CSE’s lead role as the national authority for foreign intelligence and as the national technical authority for cyber security and information assurance. The CSE Act also reinforced the crucial elements of openness, transparency and accountability that are essential to CSE’s work. This Annual Report is one of those elements.
Maintaining Canadians’ trust and confidence is critical to CSE. While certain information about CSE’s work, and how it is done, must remain classified, this report aims to provide insight into what CSE does for Canada, why it is important and how CSE collaborates with its partners to make Canada a safer place for Canadians."
