2 CSCSS CENTRE FOR STRATEGIC CYBERSPACE + SECURITY SCIENCE The early 21st century has been defined by the Internet, information and our information infrastructure. Protecting information and its associated infrastructure has become as important as protecting any of our national secrets. In our digital age cyberspace and the information within it is key. In today s hyper-connected world it plays a critical role in how we live, work, and drives our businesses. The information we create increases exponentially as does our reliance upon it. Securing and managing our information and the availability to access information securely, becomes even more important and challenging. The Centre for Strategic Cyberspace + Security Science / CSCSS as a leader in cyberspace engages with a broad variety of national-international government agencies, public-private industry, and academic institutions to counter the extensive range of threats faced in cyberspace, and to ensure information assurance, protection, and freedom. We converge and leverage unique and highly complementary skills sets along with our broad-based operational and focused architecture. This is required to take on an ever-increasing complex and dynamically changing range of issues that encompass extremely technical international, cultural, socio-economic, and cyber intelligence facets. We must think globally and cooperatively to respond to these challenges and CSCSS is the entity that will be the service model leading the field into the 21st century.
