What it is
The Cyber Security Innovation Network program will invest up to $80 million over seven years to support the creation of a pan-Canadian network to support the growth of Canada's cyber security ecosystem through industry-academia collaboration. The network is working to enhance research and development, increase commercialization, and further support the development of skilled cyber security talent across Canada.
