In a decisive response to recent U.S. tariffs that threaten Canada’s economic stability, Rogers Cybersecure Catalyst (“the Catalyst”) at Toronto Metropolitan University and In-Sec-M have launched Buy Canadian Cyber — a national initiative to connect Canadian organizations with world-class, homegrown cybersecurity businesses, talent and solutions.

Strong cybersecurity is imperative in this age of rising global cyber threats. Buy Canadian Cyber provides individuals, businesses, and governments with direct access to innovative cybersecurity products and services from Canadian-headquartered companies. The platform supports Canadian business resilience, economic prosperity, and national security by making it easier to source and procure Canadian cybersecurity expertise.

With Buy Canadian Cyber, organizations of all sizes can quickly identify and connect with cybersecurity vendors across Canada. Users can easily find the cybersecurity solutions they need by browsing a directory of organizations with helpful filters to refine their search.

“Canada has some of the most innovative cybersecurity companies in the world, yet we are too often overlooked in favour of US alternatives,” said Charles Finlay, Founding Executive Director of the Catalyst. “The latest tariffs from the U.S. are deeply frustrating, but rather than let them dictate our future, we are doubling down on Canadian excellence. Buy Canadian Cyber is a rallying call: Canadian and international companies don’t always need to look to the U.S. for top-tier cybersecurity — there are many world-leading Canadian cybersecurity products and services.”

“At In-Sec-M, we have long championed the incredible talent and expertise of Canada’s cybersecurity ecosystem,” said Nicolas Duguay, Co-Executive Director at In-Sec-M. “This initiative is about more than just business — it’s about protecting Canada’s digital sovereignty, fostering national innovation, and ensuring that organizations across the country have access to the very best cybersecurity solutions, developed and deployed by Canadians, for Canadians.”
