On October 30, Prompt General Manager, Liette Lamonde had the pleasure of hosting a conference at the InCyber Canada Forum on the very first portrait of cybersecurity in Quebec, unveiled on October 9 by PROMPT. Her two guests, Georges Gyenizse from IPTOKI and Mathieu Lavoie from Flare, shared their experiences to illustrate the main findings of the report. <\/p>\n\n
As entrepreneurs in the cybersecurity field, they shared how their companies approach the challenges and opportunities highlighted by the report. Their experience in the field gave them an in-depth understanding of the realities of the industry players revealed in the report. <\/p>\n\n
For our guest speakers, success depends on collaboration. As Georges Gyenizse pointed out: “Collaboration isn’t just internal, it’s external. We only know part of the story [as an organization], and that’s why we need collaborators. IPTOKI has been funded by several Prompt programs, which has enabled us to collaborate with academics.” In the portrait, 32% of companies report collaborating with the academic and research community, demonstrating the importance of these partnerships to innovation. <\/p>\n\n
Speaking of innovation, Liette Lamonde pointed out that “the majority of companies in the portrait are key players in innovation and intellectual property creation here in Quebec, with over 86% having developed intellectual property and innovation in-house.” To support this momentum, Mathieu Lavoie pointed out that, “Although there are many government Funding Programs, these are often based on the organization’s assets, which poses a challenge for companies like ours, which rely primarily on intellectual property. As a result, access to these programs can be difficult.”<\/p>\n\n
As Christopher Skeete, MBA, Adm.A, Minister for the Economy and Minister responsible for the Fight against Racism, states in the Cybersecurity Portrait press release: “Cybersecurity is increasingly important for our entrepreneurs. It protects them from cyber-attacks and helps them stay competitive. The Prompt initiative offers valuable support to strengthen their security. It encourages innovation and puts Quebec at the forefront in this strategic field.”<\/p>\n\n
