Developing ITS Management Skills

To properly manage Communications Security (COMSEC) material and to improve personal Information Technology Security (ITS) skills, individuals must take advantage of the lessons learned during years of policy development and personal experiences. This series of courses introduces students to Communications Security Establishment Canada (CSEC) policy requirements and proper procedures required to perform certain tasks within the ITS/COMSEC environment. Employees need some of these courses to qualify for positions to which they may be appointed.

Specialized Security Briefings

The IT Security Learning Centre (ITSLC) offers a variety of educational/awareness sessions which includes briefings on a variety of topics in an effort to strengthen the Government of Canada (GC) IT security posture. If there is a need for a specific Information Technology (IT) Security briefing, please consult the ITS Learning Centre to address your current needs.

Communications Security (COMSEC)

The Communications Security (COMSEC) Program of Study (PoS) offers Government of Canada (GC) personnel a comprehensive understanding of this subset of Information Technology (IT) Security. The protection of information transmitted by electrical means, and of certain electronic emissions associated with sensitive (classified or protected) information, involves the use of specialized technical, operational and physical security measures. Based on a series of courses which span 4 days, this PoS allows for the participant to gain a thorough understanding of IT Security and moreover, the means and procedures for safeguarding classified information in all its states.
