Canada’s new Defence Industrial Strategy is a bold commitment to strengthen our sovereignty, prioritize our suppliers, and create new opportunities for businesses and workers across Canada.
Now, all of us must do our part to turn this strategy into action.
Starting today, Rogers Cybersecure Catalyst will offer every company in every Catalyst program strategic insights to help them explore and pursue opportunities in Canada’s growing defence sector.
The urgency is now. Join us: Link in bio

Canada has long been recognized as a steady presence on the world stage.
Today, that legacy must evolve. Our leadership now depends on our ability to defend the digital infrastructure that powers our economy, safeguards our institutions, and protects our way of life.
At Rogers Cybersecure Catalyst, we believe cybersecurity is more than protection. It is a commitment to national and economic security. It is how we drive innovation, attract investment, and position Canada as a global leader in the digital age.
Let’s lead with purpose. Explore how we can protect what matters and build what’s next.

Democracy is the foundation of our nation — and in today's digital world, cybersecurity is what helps to keep it strong. As we approach the federal election, now is the time to come together and recognize how critical cyber is to protecting fair elections, public trust, and the integrity of our democratic institutions.
A powerful evening of dialogue on the future of Canadian democracy 🇨🇦
At our event, Sovereignty at Stake: Online Disinformation and Canadian Democracy, guests heard a keynote address from the Honourable Jason Kenney, followed by an engaging discussion with the Catalyst’s Charles Finlay on the growing impact of the Alberta separatist movement, digital sovereignty, and democratic resilience.
Following the keynote, a panel discussion featuring leading experts Marcus Kolga, Dr. Jennie Phillips, Ph.D, and Dr. Brian McQuinn, moderated by the Catalyst’s Judith Borts, explored the real-world risks facing Canadian democracy — from foreign interference to the spread of misinformation online — while outlining concrete steps to strengthen Canada’s response and resilience.
Thank you to everyone who joined us for an insightful and thought-provoking evening.

Earlier this month, the cybersecurity landscape changed.
Anthropic unveiled Claude Mythos: an AI model so capable at finding and exploiting software vulnerabilities that the company refused to release it publicly. In weeks of testing, it identified thousands of zero-day vulnerabilities across every major operating system and web browser. Some of those bugs had been sitting undetected for decades.
Join us for Mythos Unpacked: What this new and powerful AI means for cybersecurity, where leading voices will unpack what Mythos is, what it signals, and what organizations need to do to stay ahead.
Panelists for this webinar include Adam Evans, RBC's Senior Vice President & CISO, Fion Lee-Madan, Co-founder of Asenion, and Lee Weiner, CEO of TrojAI, and will be moderated by the Catalyst's Founding Executive Director, Charles Finlay.
