The Canadian Institute for Cybersecurity (CIC) is a comprehensive multidisciplinary training, research and development, and entrepreneurial unit that draws on the expertise of researchers in the social sciences, business, computer science, engineering, law and science.
Based at the University of New Brunswick in Fredericton, the institution is the first of its kind to bring together researchers and practitioners from across the academic spectrum to share innovative ideas, create disruptive technology and carry out groundbreaking research into the most pressing cybersecurity challenges of our time.
Cybersecurity innovation in Canada Master of Applied Cybersecurity
Drive excellence and leadership in cybersecurity research, innovation and education for Canada.
To contribute to Canadian society by being a transformational leader in cybersecurity providing thought leadership and connectivity for the Canadian cybersecurity ecosystem.
Working with big data is now a fact of life across disciplines. Digital medical records are used to build healthcare profiles; chemistry and life sciences store vast quantities of biomedical data; and the legal system generates an ever-increasing amount of sensitive data.
While information and communication technologies provide an unprecedented number of tools and applications to collect, analyze and manage this data, security and privacy remain major concerns. It is clear a new, multidisciplinary approach is needed.
The CIC will work across disciplines to create and cultivate a national network of research talent from industry, the user sector, academia, and government to examine and address internet security, privacy and trust.
The institute’s program on the science of cybersecurity focuses on enabling the development of information and network security solutions for the evolving data-intensive cyber domain. CIC focuses on the value and meaning of security data.
The focus of the program is on development and implementation of novel approaches for addressing the timely security challenges in cyberspace. The research addresses practical security problems that cyberspace infrastructure face in ensuring their survivability, reliability and performance objectives under malicious and uncertain environments.
Membership to CIC is available to researchers and post-graduate students, industry and government professionals, public institutions and government departments.
