Canada Cyber Foundry at University of Guelph

By leveraging existing faculty, research, students, graduates, program managers and facilities, UofG is ready to introduce programmatic solutions to meet the expansive needs of cybersecurity across multiple pillars. The vehicle to do so is the Canada Cyber Foundry (CCF) for cybersecurity research, training and enterprise incubation. University of Guelph (UofG) has established itself as an industry leader in cybersecurity, through its research in the School of Computer Science and the creation of the Masters of Cybersecurity and Threat Intelligence (MCTI) in 2019, the only graduate program in Canada dedicated to training students in cybersecurity and threat intelligence for professional practice. While it is serving a critical role, the need for cybersecurity professionals in Canada far exceeds the capacity of the program to generate graduates. Our flagship program - Master of Cybersecurity and Threat Intelligence (MCTI) is a unique, cutting-edge program that offers professionals the potential for a demanding and exciting career in cybersecurity, cyber threat intelligence and digital forensics within the Canadian or global landscape. Graduates of this program become leaders in security analysis and design, threat intelligence, Security Incident and Event Management (SIEM), intrusion prevention, malware analysis, penetration testing, cryptography engineering and digital forensics. The MCTI program is a full­-time, course-based, one­-year program (3 semesters, or 12 months).
