"A Collaborative Approach to Improving Cybersecurity"

As the inaugural cohort of the Catalyst Fellowship program at Rogers Cybersecure Catalyst, six researchers and cybersecurity experts from Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU) and the private sector are bridging the divide between academia and industry to address cybersecurity challenges. The fellows' research will pave the way for more trustworthy algorithms and their byproducts, such as more reliable online reviews and innovative systems for uncovering and monitoring cyber threats. Their research will provide a better understanding of existing security systems and how vulnerable they are to destructive and disruptive attacks. As an industry-stream fellow, for example, Monika Freunek, founder of Lighthouse Science Consulting and Technologies Inc. and a leader in the critical infrastructure and cybersecurity fields, aims to address the gap in Internet of Things (IoT) cybersecurity by collaborating with industry and academic experts to determine what solutions are currently available and how they can be implemented in a manner that is practical and efficient for modern society. This article continues to discuss the researchers' efforts to improve cybersecurity.
