Innovation at SSC

The Government of Canada (GC) is meeting Canadians’ evolving demands for digital services by adopting new digital delivery methods. Shared Services Canada (SSC) is enabling the transition through experimentation and innovation in digital technology. In testing emerging technologies, SSC is learning how they might be used to evolve existing services to match Canadians’ expectations.

Support for innovation

Stories

Zero trust architecture for scientists

Zero trust architecture (ZTA) is a security framework focused on protecting infrastructure and data. The central idea behind ZTA is that applications, users and devices in a system should not be trusted by default. SSC started testing ZTA with the help of science-based departments and agencies.

Augmented reality

Augmented reality (AR) is an interactive process that combines real-world environments with computer-generated 3D content. Find out how SSC’s Innovation, Collaboration and Experimentation Lab team is leveraging AR for the GC.
