WASHINGTON, 24 March 2022, (TON): Guided by our shared commitment outlined in President Biden and Prime Minister Trudeau’s February 2021 Roadmap for a Renewed U.S.-Canada Partnership to re-establish the Cross-Border Crime Forum.
Given the interconnectedness of U.S. and Canadian industry and economies, we affirm our shared commitment to work bilaterally to combat common cyber threats, such as ransomware attacks, and to strengthen critical infrastructure cyber security and resilience.
We will work together to improve coordination around reporting of ransomware attacks that can affect cross-border critical infrastructure.
Further, we will identify and implement options to strengthen sectors of our economies that are increasingly targeted by criminals and to implement effective responses.
We have agreed to promote the adoption of best practices on cyber hygiene to help defend against these threats as well as provide stakeholders with the tools needed to effectively and rapidly report cyber incidents.
