Transport Canada

Transport Canada experienced a cybersecurity incident involving a **local breach in a cloud-based software provider** used by the agency. While the breach was contained, it prompted a collaborative response with federal security partners, including law enforcement, to assess potential risks. The agency emphasized that **no direct impacts were reported on airport operations, safety, or security**, suggesting the breach did not compromise critical transportation systems or sensitive data. However, the incident raised concerns about operational efficiency and the need for proactive mitigation against future cyber threats. Transport Canada is actively working with air operators to strengthen defenses against similar incidents, whether cyber-related or otherwise, to ensure uninterrupted transportation safety and security. The breach appears to have been isolated, with no evidence of data theft, financial loss, or reputational damage beyond internal investigations and preventive measures.
