− | <big>Since 2012, the Departmental Security Officer (DSO) Centre for Development (CfD) has been fulfilling its mandate of fostering security community development across the Government of Canada. Initially conceived to support the development of DSOs and increase readiness, the ''raison d'être'' of the CfD has evolved over time. Its activities are now aimed, not only at increasing readiness, but also at supporting the adoption of a strong security posture and culture across government. Our new mission statement, adopted as part of our Strategic Plan 2017-2022, focuses on knowledge, resilience, and integration. These concepts permeate all the activities we undertake. For example, the CfD works hard to develop or support sound security practices and to disseminate them widely. We do so by increasing our reach with online tools such as the GCconnex [https://gcconnex.gc.ca/groups/profile/13250598/security-readiness-forum-forum-sur-la-preparation-en-matiere-de-securite '''Security Readiness Forum'''] (SRF), which is experiencing new growth. | + | <big>Since 2012, the Departmental Security Officer (DSO) Centre for Development (CfD) has been fulfilling its mandate of fostering security community development across the Government of Canada.
