Claroty Supports Alignment with Canada’s Bill C-8

Bill C-8 received Royal Assent on June 16, 2026, establishing the most significant federal cybersecurity framework Canada has enacted. This legislation introduces the Critical Cyber Systems Protection Act (CCSPA) to impose baseline cybersecurity obligations on Designated Operators that manage critical infrastructure in federally regulated sectors, including energy (pipelines, power line systems, and nuclear energy), telecommunications, transportation, and financial systems.
For operators of cyber-physical systems (CPS), Bill C-8 elevates cybersecurity from a voluntary framework to a strict legal mandate. Because CPS compromises directly threaten public safety and economic stability, the CCSPA legally requires your organization to:

• Identify critical cyber systems.

• Implement a comprehensive Cyber Security Program.

• Mitigate third-party supply chain risks.

• Report cyber incidents within 72 hours and notify the appropriate regulator immediately.

Claroty streamlines this compliance journey by automating asset discovery and risk prioritization. Through five core solutions, Asset Inventory, Exposure Management, Network Protection, Secure Access, and Threat Detection, Claroty empowers your teams to proactively manage risk, safeguard public safety, and maintain operational integrity under evolving government directives.
