Government of Canada Launches Cyber Security Cooperation Program 2025

On August 14, the Honourable Gary Anandasangaree, Minister of Public Safety, announced a new call for proposals under the 2025 Cyber Security Cooperation Program (CSCP), to strengthen the country’s cyber resilience and address evolving cyber threats.

Originally launched in 2019, the CSCP provided funding to projects that improved the security of Canada’s vital cyber systems. CSCP 2025 will build on the success of its last call for proposals to provide up to $10.3 million over five years to support initiatives that promote cyber security innovation, knowledge sharing, and capacity building.

The CSCP is a key component of Canada’s new National Cyber Security Strategy. The new call for proposals will help support the Strategy’s goals by funding grassroots and institutional efforts for a secure and resilient Canadian cyberspace. Applications for funding are now open, and interested organizations are encouraged to visit the CSCP page for more information, including a list of priority areas and Terms and Conditions.
