Institute for Security, Privacy, and Information Assurance (ISPIA)

ISPIA’s researchers and collaborators address cybersafety –threats to individual security, privacy, and liberty - through a multidisciplinary and multisector approach that provides practical solutions to a growing problem in our world.

Digital devices, data collection processes, monitoring systems, data analytics, and machine learning all pose threats to individual security and privacy. Our collaborative approach investigates technical, regulatory, and legal solutions to ensure a safe, secure, and free society.

ISPIA is committed to developing the next generation of practitioners and researchers, and providing training for professionals to acquire the skills they need to deliver secure systems in their modern workplace.

ISPIA works to establish collaborations across the country to ensure a cybersafe environment for all Canadians. Drawing on expertise at other leading cybersecurity centres across the country who have complementary focus areas, we are developing partnerships and initiating projects that will move Canada to become an international leader in this sector. This strong position is further consolidated by working with the best cybersecurity leaders around the world.
