IT Security and Cyber Awareness
Staff and cadets of the Canadian Cadet Organizations (CCO) must frequently make use of digital tools and resources. To safeguard personal information and ensure the security of our network and systems, it is important that everyone do their part to stay informed, be vigilent, and apply best practices related to IT security. Questions related to IT security and cyber awareness can be directed to the designated Information Systems Security Officer (ISSO) at your Regional Cadet Support Unit (RCSU) or Cadets and Junior Canadian Rangers Headquarters (CJCR HQ).
