Why is CANVAS important?

Health

Many IT applications in health work with sensitive personal data. The interruption of some particular services may have immediate and even fatal consequences for individuals (e.g., life-sustaining systems in intensive care units). Cybersecurity in health particularly relates to values like autonomy (also related to informed consent for data use) and equality.

Business

IT applications in business allow for an ever-increasing number of opportunities that are offered on the market. Security questions are expected to be in particular relation to values like fairness and accountability.

National Security

In national security and law enforcement, stakeholders (police, national security agencies) have privileged access to IT services related to law-enforcement or defence operations. Here, cybersecurity is expected to particularly relate to values like freedom and privacy.
