The partnership will leverage GCA’s extensive reach and advanced cybersecurity tools, and be paired with Cyber Security Canada NFP and their robust cybersecurity training designed to align with the stringent requirements of the CyberSecure Canada Certification.
An essential part of this collaborative effort is the roll-out of our Cybersecurity Toolkit for Small Business in English and French, with the aim of ensuring organizations of all sizes gain the knowledge and resources necessary to build robust cybersecurity strategies.
Brian Cute, Chief Operating Officer and Director of the Capacity & Resilience Program at GCA, shared, “The integration of global and national forces in cybersecurity forms a solid defence against the increasing tide of cyber threats. Our toolkit is an effective resource to equip small businesses with the necessary tools to mitigate cybersecurity risks.”
