The University of Ottawa, IBM Canada, and the Ontario Centre of Innovation (OCI) are partnering to advance innovation in cybersecurity for Ontario small businesses. The partners will establish the UOttawa-IBM Cyber Range, which will act as a Technology Development Site where Ontario-based small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) can accelerate the development and commercialization of cyber-secure technologies. The Cyber Range will also provide access to cyber response training exercises. “The uOttawa-IBM Cyber Range is the first of its kind in Canada and the only one in the world with an academic-industry partnership,” said UOttawa Interim VP Research and Innovation Julie St Pierre. “We are providing real-world, immersive training that will help Ontario’s business community better address cybersecurity threats.”
