The alternating pattern of the colours symbolizes the exchange of data and the idea of territory. This also represents the globe and the role played by CFNOC in its protection. The sword represents the roles of defence and the protection of networks against cyber-threats, while the lightning bolts indicate communication and electronic networks.
