CADSI’s Cyber Council is the forum through which the association engages with its cyber and digital members. The Council provides ongoing feedback on CADSI’s activities and research efforts in the cyber-defence domain, as well as offering input as the association works to form closer links between home-grown industry and government.
The Cyber Council provides strategic guidance to CADSI on all matters related to cyber and digital advocacy, policy, and programming.
Members identify issues facing Canada’s cyber and digital firms, helping shape positions, initiatives, and events that support national digital resilience and defence.
The Cyber Council was established in 2019 to fill a critical gap—no national association was representing the needs of cyber and digital firms focused specifically on Canada’s defence and national security environment.
Since then, the Council has become a trusted advisory body, ensuring that Canada’s growing cyber industry has a seat at the table when it comes to policy development, procurement, and capability building.
Cyber Council members are senior representatives from across the defence, cybersecurity, and digital innovation sectors. They contribute strategic insight and operational experience to help CADSI:
