== Benefits and Risks of the GC ESA Program ==
Implementation of the GC IT security strategy, including the GC ESA program, will result in many benefits, including:
* Enhanced security posture throughout the GC;
* Better awareness of threats to GC IT infrastructure;
* Improved understanding of the motivations and techniques of adversaries;
* Increased abilities to provide rapid response to IT security incidents affecting GC systems;
* Better positioned to acquire and share cyber threat information from/with trusted partners; and
* Enhanced level of confidence with users, citizens, allies and other levels of government.
However, while the benefits are substantial, the GC IT security strategy is not without any risks, including:
* Culture shift,
* Costs,
* Achieving balanced results,
* Long-term commitment,
* Technology advancements,
* Technology limitations, and
* Insufficient resources.
