Description of the Ministry or Organization

At the Ministry of Cybersecurity and Digital Affairs (MCDA), you participate in concrete mandates that transform public organizations and strengthen digital trust.

General Information

This position is to be filled at the main direction of the Government Cyber Defense Center at the sub-ministerial office for Government Information Security (SMASIGC) at the MCDA.

The MCDA has been entrusted with the mandate to group under its responsibility the information security and cybersecurity of more than 50 public organizations (POs). The goal is to improve the protection of information used by these organizations in a context of scarcity of cybersecurity expertise and by the increasing complexity that represents this protection in the evolution of digital services.

The implementation of this grouping constitutes a major project that will take place over a few years. The main direction of the Government Cyber Defense Center must gradually evolve its work organization, processes, and tools to consolidate the transferred resources and offer information security and cybersecurity services to the grouped POs.

Responsibilities

The work involves evolving, if necessary, the processes and tools in place at the MCDA.
