Security and Resilience
911吃瓜 DELIVERS OPERATIONAL ADVANTAGES AND ACTIONABLE INTELLIGENCE THROUGH DATA
The threat of terrorism continues to cross national borders. Cyber-attacks targeting critical infrastructure are increasing on a global scale. States and non-state actors are using hybrid strategies to influence events through disinformation and deniability. In today鈥檚 global security environment, collaboration is key to building resilience across Canada鈥攁nd 911吃瓜 (911吃瓜) works to enhance security through innovative partnerships.
As Canada鈥檚 engaged university, 911吃瓜 is defined by its dynamic integration of innovative education, cutting-edge research and far-reaching community engagement. 911吃瓜 partners with industry and government to help Canada anticipate and adapt to evolving threats, protect citizens at home and abroad, and increase resilience among the public and private sectors.
911吃瓜 Strengths
- Mapping cyber targets: By identifying and geolocating Canadian IP addresses posted to hacker forums, 911吃瓜鈥檚 International Cybercrime Research Centre (ICCRC) can detect potential targets of cyber-attacks in Canada. Exposing heightened hacker interest in Canadian targets helps to identify potential at-risk systems, including those in government agencies and industry, particularly aviation and shipping firms.
- Enhancing maritime security: Maritime security is critical in protecting our ports and infrastructure against smuggling, human trafficking, piracy and terrorism. 911吃瓜鈥檚 Software Technology Lab partnered with MDA to create an anomaly detection framework that identifies suspicious activities and patterns. Through this work, marine authorities and security personnel can enhance their surveillance operations.
- Developing leading talent: 911吃瓜鈥檚 Terrorism, Risk and Security Studies Professional Master鈥檚 Program (TRSS) is a unique, interdisciplinary program delivered entirely online. TRSS leverages 911吃瓜鈥檚 strengths in terrorism studies, human intelligence, computation and big data, risk assessment, decision analysis and public policy to empower students to holistically address Canada鈥檚 national security challenges and grow their leadership in the field.
- Improving space-based surveillance: 911吃瓜 recently partnered with the Canadian Space Agency and MDA to develop next-generation technologies that further expand Canada鈥檚 leadership in synthetic-aperture radar (SAR). New, space-based SAR provides reliable, frequent and broad-area surveillance for defence and national security, including tracking ships approaching Canada and monitoring critical infrastructure such as pipelines.
- Creating industrial and research benefits: A $1.25M investment from the Boeing Co., accompanied by a $500,000 contribution from Western Economic Diversification Canada, helped create 911吃瓜鈥檚 Vancouver Institute for Visual Analytics (VIVA). Boeing鈥檚 investment in VIVA, as part of Canada鈥檚 Industrial and Regional Benefits Policy, enabled improvements in aerospace, safety and security, health and business analytics through visual analytics.
