“Rogers Cybersecure Catalyst at Ryerson University opens up a huge new source of top talent by identifying extraordinary aptitude and reskilling professionals from outside of the cybersecurity field. In the process, they will also provide new careers and a bright future for displaced workers as well as increase diversity in the field." 

Alan Paller, Director of Research for the SANS Institute

Partnering to deliver cybersecurity training to under-represented groups

Cybersecurity is critical and is one of the fastest-growing economic sectors. Yet there are not enough trained cyber professionals to do the job.  

Ryerson University is teaming up with SANS to deliver cybersecurity training to women, new Canadians and displaced workers through its Rogers Cybersecurity Catalyst. SANS provides cyber security training and certification to professionals in governments and commercial institutions. 

The programfunded by the government of Canada, Rogers Communications, Royal Bank of Canada, and the City of Brampton, will open up the sector to those who need it most.
