OTTAWA CHAPTER CHAPTER - Jun 18, 2025

Progress Made in the Canadian Armed Forces Cyber Command

The chapter had the privilege of welcoming back Maj. Gen. Dave Yarker, head of the Canadian Armed Forces Cyber Command, as their guest speaker during an executive breakfast. Although the Cyber Command is still in its early stages-just eight months since its establishment-progress has already been made, both domestically and on deployed operations.

Yarker provided valuable insights into the planning, coordination and integration in the focus areas of defensive and offensive cyber operations, signals intelligence and joint electronic warfare.

While acknowledging the challenges that lie ahead, he expressed a strong sense of optimism about the path forward, highlighting that a broadly secure Canada remains well within reach.
